2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) is an organic compound with the formula (O₂N)₂C₆H₃Cl. It is a yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is an important intermediate for the industrial production of other compounds.[2]

DNCB is produced commercially by the nitration of p-nitrochlorobenzene with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids. Other methods afford the compound less efficiently include the chlorination of dinitrobenzene, nitration of o-nitrochlorobenzene and the dinitration of chlorobenzene[3].

Uses

By virtue of the two nitro groups, the chloride is susceptible to nucleophilic substitution. In this way, the compound is a precursor to many other compounds. Base gives the dinitrophenol, ammonia the dinitroaniline, methoxide the dinitroanisole, and amines the secondary amines.

Laboratory use

DNCB is used as a substrate in GST enzyme activity assays.[4] The molecule is conjugated to a single molecule of reduced glutathione which then absorbs at 340 nm. Affinity of CDNB for each class of GST varies and so it is not a good measure of activity for some forms (e.g. GSTT and GSTZ).

Medical use

DNCB can be used to treat warts with an effective cure rate of 80%.[5] DNCB induces an allergic immune response toward the wart-causing virus.[5]

Safety

DNCB induces a type IV hypersensitivity reaction in almost all people exposed to it, so it is used medically to assess the T cell activity in patients. This is a useful diagnostic test for immunocompromised patients. It can also be used to treat warts.[6]

DNCB can cause contact dermatitis.[7]

gollark: I don't see why I would want dead ones.

gollark: Certainly not to the extent that you'd expect piles of dead ones.

gollark: Maybe. Not massively more than the other brands, as far as I can tell.

gollark: Guess I'll just... continue using my incredibly dubious backup disk.

gollark: Hmm, "bee apioform", all the cheap disks are SMR nowadays.
