Definition
ChEBI: 2,3-dinitrotoluene is a dinitrotoluene that is toluene in which the hydrogens at positions 2 and 3 have been replaced by nitro groups. It has a role as an explosive.
General Description
2,3-Dinitrotoluene is classified under the group of nitroaromatic compounds, which are organic nitro derivatives of analytical research interest. It is considered as a ubiquitous environmental contaminant and can adversely affect human health because of its mutagenic and/or carcinogenic nature.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion. Mutation data reported. A skin irritant. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also 2,4 DINITROTOLUENE.
Purification Methods
Distil the toluene in steam and crystallise it from H2O or *benzene/pet ether. Store it with 10% H2O as it could be EXPLOSIVE when dry. [Beilstein 5 H 339, 5 III 758, 5 IV 865.]
