The Uses of 2-Nitroethanol

2-Nitroethanol is an aliphatic β-nitro alcohol used as an in vivo therapeutic corneoscleral crosslinking agents with higher order nitroalcohol. It also functions as a crosslinking reagent for scieral tissue cross-linking of the eye cornea for treating keratoconus and post-surgical keratectasia.

General Description

Mobile dark brown-red liquid with a pungent odor.

Air & Water Reactions

Hygroscopic. Insoluble in water.
