2,4-Dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP or simply DNP) is an organic compound with the formula HOC 6 H 3 (NO 2) 2. It has been used in explosives manufacturing and as a pesticide and herbicide. In humans, DNP causes dose-dependent mitochondrial uncoupling , causing the rapid loss of ATP as heat and leading to uncontrolled hyperthermia —up to 44 °C (111 ...
Dinitrophenols are chemical compounds which are nitro derivatives of phenol.. There are six isomers of dinitrophenol: Chemical structure of 2,4-Dinitrophenol. 2,3-Dinitrophenol; 2,4-Dinitrophenol
Dinoseb is a common industry name for 6-sec-butyl-2,4-dinitrophenol, a herbicide in the dinitrophenol family. It is a crystalline orange solid which does not readily dissolve in water. Dinoseb is banned as an herbicide in the European Union (EU) and the United States because of its toxicity.
2,4-DNP can mean: 2,4-Dinitrophenol , a small organic molecule formerly marketed as a pharmaceutical "diet aid" 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine , Brady's reagent, used in organic chemical analysis
2,4-dinitrophenol picric acid 2,4-Dinitrophenol (m.p. 83 °C) is a moderately strong acid (pK a = 4.89). 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol is better known as picric acid , which has a well-developed chemistry.
2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a very strong thermogenic drug used for fat loss which produces a dose-dependent increase in body temperature, to the point where it can induce death by hyperthermia. It works as a mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation uncoupler, disrupting the mitochondrial electron transport chain .
2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH or DNPH) is the organic compound C 6 H 3 (NO 2) 2 NHNH 2. DNPH is a red to orange solid. It is a substituted hydrazine. The solid is relatively sensitive to shock and friction. For this reason DNPH is usually handled as a wet powder. DNPH is a precursor to the drug Sivifene.
2,4-Dinitroanisole can be formed from p-nitroanisole or o-nitroanisole nitration. Also it can be formed from 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene by treatment with sodium methoxide (sodium in methanol) or sodium hydroxide with methanol. [1] Over a period of days, alkalies will hydrolyse the ether bond to form 2,4-dinitrophenol. [7]
