2,5-Dinitrotoluene

Description:

2,5-Dinitrotoluene (2,5-DNT) is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two nitro groups (-NO2) attached to a toluene ring, specifically at the 2 and 5 positions. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ether. 2,5-DNT is primarily used in the production of explosives and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical compounds. It exhibits explosive properties, particularly when subjected to heat or shock, making it a compound of interest in both industrial applications and environmental studies. The compound is also known for its potential health hazards, including toxicity and carcinogenicity, which necessitates careful handling and regulation. In terms of stability, 2,5-DNT is relatively stable under normal conditions but can decompose under extreme conditions, releasing harmful gases. Its chemical formula is C7H6N2O4, and it is important to adhere to safety guidelines when working with this substance due to its hazardous nature.
