1-Nitroheptane
1-nitroheptane is used for the synthesis of dihydrojasmone (PMID 17340535). 1-nitroheptane has been studied for its ability to induce DNA repair in rat hepatocytes (PMID 776204).
1-Nitrohexane
1-nitrohexane is oxidized by the enzyme flavoenzyme nitroalkane oxidase (PMID 19265437). Researchers have also proposed to use 1-nitrohexane as a retention index scale in reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (PMID: 3350897).
