4-nitro phenol is a slightly yellow, crystalline material, moderately toxic. It shows two polymorphs in the crystalline state. The alpha-form is colorless pillars, unstable at room temperature, and stable toward sunlight. The beta-form is yellow pillars, stable at room temperature, and gradually turns red upon irradiation of sunlight.
p-Nitrophenol, yellow solid is a precursor to the rice herbicide fluorodifen, the pesticide parathion, and the human analgesic paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen). The mononitrated phenols are often hydrogenated to the corresponding aminophenols that are also useful industrially.
Dermal Toxicity: LD 50 for acute dermal toxicity means that dose of the material which, administered by continuous contact for 24 hours with the shaved intact skin (avoiding abrading) of an albino rabbit, causes death within 14 days in half of the animals tested. The number of animals tested must be sufficient to give statistically valid ...
[17] 2-Nitrophenol is an aggregation pheromone of ticks. Examples of nitro compounds are rare in nature. 3-Nitropropionic acid found in fungi and plants . Nitropentadecene is a defense compound found in termites. Aristolochic acids are found in the flowering plant family Aristolochiaceae. Nitrophenylethane is found in Aniba canelilla. [18]
Synthesis of DNP (right) from phenol and nitric acid via 2-Nitrophenol and 4-Nitrophenol. DNP has the chemical formula HOC 6 H 3 (NO 2) 2. As a solid, it is a yellow, crystalline and has a sweet, musty odor. [1] [2] It sublimates, is volatile with steam, and is soluble in most organic solvents as well as aqueous alkaline solutions. [2]
TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol) is a common piscicide, i.e., a fish poison used to combat parasitic and invasive species of fish. [1]The substance was discovered in 1958 when researching means to combat sea lampreys and it currently remains the primary lampricide (lamprey-killer) in the Great Lakes area.
Picric acid is an organic compound with the formula (O 2 N) 3 C 6 H 2 OH. Its IUPAC name is 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP).The name "picric" comes from Greek: πικρός (pikros), meaning "bitter", due to its bitter taste.
