Dinitrochlorobenzene

A skin irritant that may cause dermatitis of both primary and allergic types. Contact sensitization with DNCB has been used as a measure of cellular immunity. DNCB is also used as a reagent for the detection and determination of pyridine compounds.

Also Known As:

DNCB; 1 Chloro 2,4 Dinitrobenzene; 2,4 Dinitrochlorobenzene; 1-Chloro-2,4-Dinitrobenzene; 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene; Benzene, 1-Chloro-2,4-Dinitro-; Chlorodinitrobenzene
