2,4-Dinitrotoluene Uses

2,4-Dinitrotoluene (CAS NO.121-14-2) is used in the production of toluene diisocyanate which is used to produce flexible polyurethane foams. It is hydrogenated to produce toluenediamine, which in turn is phosgenated to form toluene diisocyanate. Other uses include the explosives industry. also it used as material in organic synthesis, dyestuff and explosive.

2,4-Dinitrotoluene Production

The dinitrotoluenes [CH₃C₆H₃(NO₂)₂] are manufactured by the nitration of toluene that gives a mixture containing 65 to 80% of the 2,4-dinitro derivative and 20 to 35% of the 2,6-dinitro compound.
2C₆H₅CH₃ + 4HNO₃ + 4H⁺ → 2,4 (NO₂)₂C₆H₃CH₃
+ 2,6(NO₂)₂C₆H₃CH₃ + 4H₂O
If the pure 2,4-compound is required, mononitration of toluene followed by separation of pure,p-nitrotoluene from the ortho isomer, and then further nitration of,p-nitrotoluene gives the pure 2,4-dinitro isomer.

2,4-Dinitrotoluene Safety Profile

Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and neoplastigenic data. Poison by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. Experimental reproductive effects. A skin irritant. Mutation data reported. An irritant and an allergen. Can cause anemia, methemoglobinemia, cyanosis, and liver damage. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use water spray or mist, dry chemical. Decomposes when heated to 250°C. There are instances of explosion during manufacture or storage. Mixture with nitric acid is a high explosive. Mixture with sodium carbonate can decompose with significant pressure increase at 210°C. Mixtures with other alkalies may have the same effect. Ignites on contact with sodium oxide. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NO_x.
