4-Nitrobiphenyl is an organic compound with the formula C6H5−C6H4NO2. It is one of three isomers of nitrobiphenyl and probably the most widely used. It is a precursor to the antioxidant 4-aminobiphenyl. 4-Nitrobiphenyl is readily prepared by nitration of biphenyl.[1] It can also be prepared by cross-coupling reactions.[2]

4-Nitrobiphenyl is commonly invoked as a pollutant.[3][4]
