Dichlorodinitromethane(CAT: R014619) is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and two nitro groups attached to a central methane structure. It is primarily used in research and chemical synthesis as a reagent or intermediate. Due to its chemical structure, it is a highly reactive compound with potential applications in the production of explosives, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. However, it is also known for its hazardous properties, being both toxic and potentially explosive under certain conditions. Therefore, it requires careful handling and storage in controlled environments, especially in research settings.
