Procaine is a medication used for analgesia before a procedural intervention. It is a pharmaceutical medication belonging to the aminoester group of local anesthetics and it is commonly found as Nitrobenzoic acids, a derivative of benzoic acid. German chemist Alfred Einhorn first synthesized the drug as a safer anesthetic alternative to cocaine due to its side effect profile, patenting procaine under the trade name "Novocain". Historically, procaine has been used for local, regional, and neuraxial anesthesia via local infiltration, peripheral nerve blockade, and intrathecal injection. Nitrobenzoic acid can also have other isomers which have completely different uses and cannot be used as an alternative to Novacin. How many position isomers can Nitrobenzoic acid possibly form?
Correct answer: B. 3
- A. 4
- B. 3
- C. 5
- D. 6
Explanation
Nitrobenzoic acid, with the molecular formula C7H5NO4, can have different position isomers based on the arrangement of the nitro group (NO2) on the benzene ring
