1-Bromo-2,4-dinitrobenzene

1-Bromo-2,4-dinitrobenzene, also known as DNB, is a molecule that belongs to the group p2. It has been shown to be a substrate for catalysis in vitro assays. 1-Bromo-2,4-dinitrobenzene is used in cancer research and can inhibit the growth of skin cells. 1-Bromo-2,4-dinitrobenzene does not show any cytotoxic effects on untreated control cells and it has been shown to have limited solubility in water (less than 0.1 g/L). This molecule also shows low reactivity with nucleophilic compounds and has been found to be less reactive than nitro compounds.
