Nitrobenzyl halides and carbamates as prototype bioreductive alkylating agents

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jm00182a027

o-Nitrobenzyl and p-nitrobenzyl alcohols, halides, and N-substituted carbamates were prepared as potential bioreductive alkylating agents, and first half-wave reduction potentials of these compounds were measured by differential pulse polarography. The cy
