:3,5-Dinitrophenol
Description:
3,5-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an organic compound characterized by its bright yellow crystalline appearance and its chemical formula C6H4N2O5. It is a derivative of phenol, featuring two nitro groups (-NO2) positioned at the 3 and 5 carbon atoms of the aromatic ring. DNP is known for its role as a herbicide and as a chemical intermediate in various industrial applications. It is highly soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is notable for its ability to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration, leading to increased metabolic rates and heat production, which has historically made it a controversial substance in weight loss and bodybuilding contexts. However, due to its toxicity and potential for causing severe health issues, including fatal hyperthermia, its use is heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Safety precautions are essential when handling DNP, as it poses significant health risks, including skin irritation and respiratory issues.

3,5-Dinitrophenol
CAS:Controlled Product<p>3,5-Dinitrophenol is a yellowish crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It has a molecular weight of 162.2 g/mol and it's deprotonated form is 3,5-dinitrophenoxide. The thermodynamic parameters of this compound are not well known because the compound cannot be studied at equilibrium conditions. The experimental spectra were measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Theory-based equations have been used to calculate the parameters for the theoretical spectra and these equations are in agreement with the experimental results. Constant temperature measurements have shown that nitro groups can be protonated at high temperatures, but not at low temperatures. This protonation causes an increase in acidity, which leads to a decrease in pKa values of nitro groups when compared to their values at lower temperatures.</p>Formula:C6H4N2O5Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:184.11 g/mol
