Common Name4-nitrophenylphosphate
Description4-nitrophenylphosphate is a member of the class of organophosphates, which are esters of phosphoric acid and are known for their diverse applications in biochemistry and environmental science. Its chemical structure features a nitro group (-NO2) attached to a phenyl ring, which is further esterified with phosphate. This compound is involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly in the context of enzymatic reactions where phosphatase enzymes hydrolyze phosphate esters. Additionally, 4-nitrophenylphosphate serves as a substrate in assays to measure enzyme activity, especially in studies related to phosphatases. Notably, it has been highlighted in research concerning the degradation of organophosphate compounds, such as in the decomposition of the nerve agent simulant dimethyl-4-nitrophenylphosphate (DMNP) using hybrid aerogel composites, which effectively mitigate secondary pollution associated with conventional metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysis (PMID:40028880 ). This illustrates its relevance not only in biochemical contexts but also in environmental remediation strategies.
