nitroveratrylderived
Nitroveratrylderived refers to chemical derivatives based on the nitroveratryl moiety, a photolabile fragment derived from veratryl (3,4-dimethoxybenzyl) scaffolds with a nitro substituent. These compounds are used to temporarily mask reactive functionalities in organic synthesis, bioconjugation, and materials science, allowing controlled deprotection by light.
Chemically, nitroveratryl derivatives are characterized by a nitro-substituted veratryl-based framework that can be linked to substrates
Applications include protecting amines and alcohols in peptide and nucleotide synthesis, construction of photoresponsive materials, and
Safety and handling: nitro-containing compounds can be irritants and may pose environmental hazards. Work with appropriate
