2,3-Dinitrotoluene

Description:
2,3-Dinitrotoluene (2,3-DNT) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C7H6N2O4. It is a nitro derivative of toluene, characterized by the presence of two nitro groups (-NO2) attached to the aromatic ring of toluene at the 2 and 3 positions. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its explosive properties, making it a significant intermediate in the production of explosives and other chemical compounds. 2,3-DNT is relatively stable under normal conditions but can be hazardous due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact. It is slightly soluble in water and more soluble in organic solvents. The compound is also known to undergo various chemical reactions, including nitration and reduction, which can lead to the formation of other nitro compounds or amines. Due to its potential health risks, including carcinogenicity, proper handling and disposal measures are essential when working with 2,3-DNT in industrial or laboratory settings.
