6-Nitroveratraldehyde has been used in the preparation of no-carrier-added 6-18F-fluoro-L-dopa, fundamental tracer for cerebral positron emission tomography studies of dopaminergic system in humans and o-nitroaryl-bis(5-methylfur-2-yl)methanes, versatile synthons for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. DMNB is also an enzyme involved in the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway of double-stranded DNA break (DSB) repair. It is also used for synthesizing analogs of alpha-asarone.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
