2-Nitrobenzyl alcohol is an organic compound with the formula C7H7NO3. It is a yellow solid that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It can be synthesized by the nitration of benzyl alcohol. 2-nitrobenzyl alcohol is a photosensitive compound, meaning it undergoes chemical changes when exposed to light. This property makes it a useful reagent in organic chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of photoremovable protecting groups. It has been studied for its potential applications in photolithography, a technique used in the fabrication of microelectronic devices. The photochemical properties of 2-nitrobenzyl alcohol have been explored for applications in biomolecule tagging and photocontrolled drug release. It has been investigated as a potential tool for the development of photodynamic therapy for the treatment of cancer.'
