Chemical Properties

yellow to orange powder

Uses

2,4-Dichloro-6-nitrophenol, a specific inhibitor of sulfotransferases, was used to reduce the neosynthesis of [³H] pregnenolone sulfate (_Δ⁵PS) and [³H]dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS).

General Description

The FT-Raman and FTIR spectra of 2,4-dichloro-6-nitrophenol (2,4-DC6NP) was studied.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the chloronitrophenol from AcOH. [Beilstein 6 IV 1358.]
