2,6-Dinitro-p-cresol

Description:
2,6-Dinitro-p-cresol (DNPC) is an organic compound characterized by its nitro and hydroxyl functional groups. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The compound has a molecular formula of C7H6N2O5 and features two nitro groups attached to the aromatic ring of p-cresol, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential toxicity. DNPC is primarily used as a herbicide and pesticide, owing to its ability to inhibit certain enzymatic processes in plants. However, it is also recognized for its environmental persistence and potential health hazards, including skin and respiratory irritation, and it is classified as a hazardous substance. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate risks associated with exposure. Additionally, DNPC's structural characteristics make it a subject of interest in various chemical research applications, particularly in the study of nitroaromatic compounds and their derivatives.
