Description:

Dinitrophenols are a class of manufactured chemicals that do not occur naturally in the environment. There are six different dinitrophenols.

The most commercially important dinitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, is a yellow solid. It is used in making dyes, wood preservatives, and explosives, and as a photographic developer.

In the 1930s 2,4-dinitrophenol was used in diet pills but was banned for this use in 1938 because of health risks. However, in recent years, unregulated websites have illegally marketed it for weight loss and body building.
