3,4-Dinitrophenol

Description:

3,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an organic compound characterized by its yellow crystalline appearance and a distinctive aromatic structure. It is a derivative of phenol, featuring two nitro groups (-NO2) positioned at the 3 and 4 carbon atoms of the benzene ring. DNP is known for its role as a herbicide and a chemical intermediate in various industrial applications. It is highly soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound exhibits strong acidity, making it a weak acid in aqueous solutions. DNP is also recognized for its ability to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration, leading to increased metabolic rates and heat production, which has raised concerns regarding its safety and potential toxicity. Due to its hazardous nature, including risks of severe health effects upon exposure, DNP is subject to strict regulations in many countries. Its use in weight loss products has been banned in several jurisdictions due to serious health risks, including potential fatal outcomes.
