dinitrofenyyli

Dinitrofenyyli, also known as 2,4-dinitrophenol or picramic acid, is a chemical compound with the formula C6H3(NO2)2OH. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and organic solvents. Dinitrofenyyli is a derivative of phenol, with two nitro groups (-NO2) substituted at the 2nd and 4th positions of the benzene ring, and a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 1st position.

The compound was first synthesized in 1858 by German chemist Carl Liebermann. It is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as picric acid and picramic acid derivatives. Dinitrofenyyli is also used in the production of dyes, explosives, and pharmaceuticals.

In the field of medicine, dinitrofenyyli has been studied for its potential therapeutic effects. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and it has been used in the treatment of conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. However, due to its potential toxicity, the use of dinitrofenyyli in medicine is limited and is typically reserved for cases where other treatments have failed.

Dinitrofenyyli is a hazardous substance and should be handled with care. It is toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Prolonged exposure to dinitrofenyyli can cause skin irritation, and it can also cause damage to the liver and kidneys. As such, it is important to follow proper safety procedures when handling this compound.
