2,3-Pentanedione, bis[(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazone]

Description:

2,3-Pentanedione, bis[(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazone], commonly referred to as DNP-hydrazone, is a chemical compound characterized by its formation from the reaction of 2,3-pentanedione with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange crystalline solid, which is indicative of the presence of the dinitrophenyl groups. It is known for its application in analytical chemistry, particularly in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of carbonyl compounds due to its ability to form stable hydrazones. The compound exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone, but is generally insoluble in water. Its structure features a hydrazone linkage, which contributes to its reactivity and stability. Additionally, 2,3-pentanedione, bis[(2,4-dinitrophenyl)hydrazone] is sensitive to light and may undergo degradation upon prolonged exposure. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks due to the toxicity of the dinitrophenyl moieties.
