2,4-Dinitrotoluene

Description:
2,4-Dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C7H6N2O4. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is primarily used in the production of explosives, particularly in the manufacture of TNT (trinitrotoluene). 2,4-DNT is characterized by its nitro groups, which are electron-withdrawing, making the compound relatively stable yet reactive under certain conditions. It has a melting point that allows it to exist as a solid at room temperature, and it is slightly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The compound is known for its potential health hazards, including toxicity and carcinogenicity, which necessitates careful handling and regulation in industrial applications. Additionally, 2,4-DNT can undergo various chemical reactions, including reduction and nitration, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Its environmental persistence raises concerns, as it can contaminate soil and water, leading to ecological impacts. Proper safety measures and environmental assessments are essential when working with this substance.
