Sign in to saveAlso known as dinitroanilines
Dinitroanilines are a class of organic compounds based on dinitroaniline, with the chemical formula C6H3(NO2)2NH2. Six isomers exist depending on the relative positions of the amino (NH2) and nitro (NO2) groups: 2,3-dinitroaniline, 2,4-dinitroaniline, 2,5-dinitroaniline, 2,6-dinitroaniline, 3,4-dinitroaniline, and 3,5-dinitroaniline. An organic compound with a dinitroaniline group is also said to be a dinitroaniline.
