3-Amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid
Encyclopedia
3-Amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid is an aromatic compound that absorbs light strongly at 540 nm
. It is produced when 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid
reacts with a reducing sugar
. In this reaction, the 3-nitrate
group (NOO-) is reduced to an amino group (NH2).

3,5-Dinitrosalicylic acid
3,5-Dinitrosalicylic acid is an aromatic compound that reacts with reducing sugars and other reducing molecules to form 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid, which absorbs light strongly at 540 nm...
reacts with a reducing sugar
Reducing sugar
A reducing sugar is any sugar that either has an aldehyde group or is capable of forming one in solution through isomerisation. This functional group allows the sugar to act as a reducing agent, for example in the Tollens' test or Benedict's test.-Chemistry:...

Nitrate
The nitrate ion is a polyatomic ion with the molecular formula NO and a molecular mass of 62.0049 g/mol. It is the conjugate base of nitric acid, consisting of one central nitrogen atom surrounded by three identically-bonded oxygen atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement. The nitrate ion carries a...
