 2-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-4,6-dinitrophenol (CAS NO.1420-07-1) is a yellow solid, used as rodenticide, contact herbicide. Banned in UK in 1988, needed for ventilation in the public coffers dry and cold; environment, storage, separate storage and transportation of raw materials and food; fire extinguishing agent with sand, dry powder, foam and so on. 

 2-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-4,6-dinitrophenol (CAS NO.1420-07-1) is a yellow solid. Used as a herbicide and a rodenticide,
slightly soluble in water.Nitrophenolates, such as DINOTERB, range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups. Severe explosion hazard when dry. 

  DINOTERB is toxic by all routes of exposure. The dangerous single oral dose of dinitro-o- cresol, a structurally similar compound, is estimated to be about 29 mg/kg.When heated to decomposition DINOTERB emits toxic nitrogen oxide fumes.
