• ; polysubstituted cyclohexanone; Introduction The 4-nitrophenol framework is characterized by a biased electron density in the ring and an acidic hydroxy group, which can be attributed to the electron-donating hydroxy and the electron-withdrawing nitro groups. The derivatives of 4-nitrophenol are widely used in
