| purpose | is used in organic synthesis and is an intermediate of diagnostic drug calcium iodopromide. |
| production method | from the condensation of M-nitrobenzaldehyde and acetic anhydride. The M-nitrobenzaldehyde, acetic anhydride and sodium acetate were added into a dry reaction pot, heated to 170 °c with stirring, and refluxed for 6H. After cooling, the crystals were precipitated, filtered, washed with water and recrystallized from 95% ethanol to obtain m-nitrocinnamic acid. The yield was 75%. |
