Benzene,1,5-bis(1-methylethyl)-2,4-dinitro-

Description:

Benzene, 1,5-bis(1-methylethyl)-2,4-dinitro- is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with two isopropyl groups and two nitro groups at specific positions. The presence of the nitro groups indicates that this compound may exhibit significant reactivity, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The isopropyl groups contribute to the compound's hydrophobic nature and can influence its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points. This compound is likely to be a yellow crystalline solid at room temperature, and its molecular structure suggests potential applications in various fields, including materials science and organic synthesis. However, due to the presence of nitro groups, it may also pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and storage. As with many nitro-substituted compounds, it may be sensitive to heat and shock, which is an important consideration in its use and application.
