Description and Uses

1,3-Dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB) is an impurity present in the manufacture of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. Workers in munitions plants are at risk of exposure. While it does not bioaccumulate, it persists in the environments (air, water, and soil) with slow rates of degradation. Metabolism in animals (rabbits) results in reduction of the nitro functionalities to amine functionalities to produce 2,4-diaminophenol, m-nitroaniline, m-phenylenediamine, and 2-amino-4-nitrophenol. Human exposure is generally dermal contact or inhalation of vapor.

1,3-Dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB) is an impurity present in the manufacture of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. Dinitrobenzene (as a mixture of 1,2-dinitro- 1,3-dinitro- and 1,4-dinitro-isomers) is used in the manufacture of dyes and explosives, and in organic syntheses.
