Usage

General Description

2,6-dinitro-4-(pentan-2-yl)phenol, also known as dinoseb, is a synthetic organic compound with the chemical formula C11H13N2O5. It is a yellow crystalline solid that is commonly used as a herbicide to control a wide range of weeds in various crops. However, it is also considered highly toxic and potentially carcinogenic to humans and animals. 2,6-dinitro-4-(pentan-2-yl)phenol can cause severe skin and eye irritation, and long-term exposure has been linked to respiratory issues and nervous system damage. Due to its potential health risks, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries.
