2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) is a high-purity aromatic compound, moistened for safe handling, and commonly used in organic synthesis and catalysis. The electron-withdrawing nitro groups make DNP a versatile reagent for forming esters, activating carboxylic acids, and supporting asymmetric catalysis. This compound is also valued for its role in nucleoside chemistry and reduction reactions.
Key Features
- ≥98% purity – Ensures consistent reactivity and product quality
- Moistened formulation – Reduces dust and enhances handling safety
- Activated phenol ring – Facilitates ester formation and nucleophilic substitution
- Versatile synthetic applications – Suitable for both catalytic and preparative reactions
- Stable under proper storage conditions
