Usage

General Description

2-(2,6-dinitrophenyl)ethanol, also known as DNPE, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H7N3O6. It is a yellow powder that is used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and dyes. DNPE is also used in the production of antioxidants and stabilizers for plastics and rubber. It is considered to be a hazardous chemical and should be handled with care due to its toxicity and potential for explosive decomposition when heated. Additionally, it is classified as a skin and eye irritant, and prolonged or repeated exposure may cause skin sensitization.

New photolabile protecting groups in nucleoside and nucleotide chemistry - Synthesis, cleavage mechanisms and applications

New photolabile protecting groups have been found in the 2-(2- nitrophenyl)ethoxycarbonyl and the 2-(2-nitrophenyl)ethylsulfonyl group, respectively. The influence of substituents at the phenyl ring as well as the side-chain has been investigated regarding the photolysis rates on irradiation at 365 mn. β-Branching in the side-chain leads to highly increased rates of photodeprotection. A new type of photocleavage mechanism consisting of a photoinduced β-elimination process is proposed.
