2,7-Dinitrofluorene

Description:

2,7-Dinitrofluorene is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a fluorene backbone substituted with two nitro groups at the 2 and 7 positions. This compound is typically a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, but it can dissolve in organic solvents such as acetone and chloroform. The presence of nitro groups contributes to its electron-withdrawing properties, which can influence its reactivity and stability. 2,7-Dinitrofluorene is often studied for its potential applications in organic electronics and as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, due to the nitro groups, it may exhibit certain toxicological properties, necessitating careful handling and consideration of safety protocols in laboratory settings. Its chemical behavior can be further explored through various reactions, including reduction and substitution, making it a compound of interest in both academic and industrial research.

2,7-Dinitrofluorene

CAS: 5405-53-8

2,7-Dinitrofluorene is a nitro compound that is used as an analytical reagent. It is used in the determination of redox potentials and is commonly used to measure the activity of nitroreductases. 2,7-Dinitrofluorene is also a genotoxic agent that causes DNA damage by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), which react with DNA bases and cause strand breaks. Nitroreductase enzymes catalyze the reduction of nitro groups to amines, which are then converted to ammonia. This process produces ammonia, which reacts with other compounds in the body to form nitrosamines. Nitrosamines have been shown to be carcinogenic in animal models, and some of these compounds can be found in human tissues.
