Common NameN-phenylhydroxylamine
DescriptionN-phenylhydroxylamine is a member of the class of hydroxylamines, which are organic compounds characterized by the presence of a hydroxylamine functional group (-NHOH). Its chemical structure features a phenyl group attached to the nitrogen of the hydroxylamine, making it an important intermediate in various chemical reactions. N-phenylhydroxylamine is involved in several synthetic pathways, including the photoreduction of nitrobenzene to produce paracetamol through acetylation and a subsequent 1,5-rearrangement (PMID:40970758 ). Additionally, it exhibits radical trapping activity due to its N-H and O-H bonds, which serve as hydrogen-donating centers (PMID:40192222 ). The compound has been evaluated for its antioxidant capabilities using a DPPH assay (PMID:40192222 ) and has demonstrated anti-Candida potential when assessed as N-Nitroso-N-phenylhydroxylamine (cupferron) against various strains (PMID:39117014 ). Furthermore, cupferron has been studied for its antibacterial properties, inhibiting microbial growth and affecting virulence factors (PMID:37796875 ). Its utility extends to extraction processes, where it has been used to extract Ga-68 in chloroform (PMID:37147500 ). Overall, N-phenylhydroxylamine is a versatile compound with significant implications in both synthetic and biological contexts.
