4-Methyl-2,5-dinitrophenol

Description:

4-Methyl-2,5-dinitrophenol, commonly referred to as methyl dinitrophenol (MDNP), is an organic compound characterized by its phenolic structure with two nitro groups and a methyl group attached to the benzene ring. It appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its high reactivity due to the presence of the nitro groups, which are electron-withdrawing and enhance the acidity of the hydroxyl group. MDNP is primarily used in research and industrial applications, particularly in the synthesis of dyes and as a reagent in various chemical reactions. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents but is less soluble in water. The compound is also recognized for its potential toxicity and environmental impact, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Due to its chemical properties, it can act as a metabolic uncoupler, affecting cellular respiration processes. Safety precautions are essential when working with this substance, as it can pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
