2-CYCLOHEXYL-4,6-DINITROPHENOL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Definition

ChEBI: Dinex is a ring assembly and an alkylbenzene.

General Description

Yellow crystals.

Reactivity Profile

Reacts with oxidizing materials and combustibles [USCG, 1999]. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Can detonate or explode when heated under confinement [USCG, 1999]. Aromatic nitro compounds, such as 2-CYCLOHEXYL-4,6-DINITROPHENOL, range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups. Phenols do not behave as organic alcohols, as one might guess from the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group in their structure. Instead, they react as weak organic acids. Phenols and cresols are much weaker as acids than common carboxylic acids (phenol has Ka = 1.3 x 10^[-10]). These materials are incompatible with strong reducing substances such as hydrides, nitrides, alkali metals, and sulfides. Flammable gas (H2) is often generated, and the heat of the reaction may ignite the gas. Heat is also generated by the acid-base reaction between phenols and bases.

Health Hazard

Liver damage, metabolic stimulant, dermatitis, dilation of pupils.
