I plan to source some from a chemical company. i was wondering if this dnp found in chemical suppliers are the same as the one used by body builders? thanks

yes it is...

Dinitrophenol

structure: C6H4N2O5
make sure it is 2,4-Dinitrophenol... also

That is the only DNP that exists!Originally Posted by Ben Lifton
that's like saying when i buy an oxygen source for a wacker oxidation, make sure it is 1,4-para-benzoquinone....theres no such thing as 2,4 p-benzo
you just have to watch for its hydration rating. theres powder and crystal dnp which is directly related to the moisture in it, so you have to adjust doses according to the actual weight of the compound. make sure your not under , or worse, overdosing because of moisture you did or didn't know was in it!

it is also known as Phenol, and 2,4-dinitro for abbreviations

...also known as Aldifen.
...2,5 dinitrophenol and 2,6 dinitrophenol exist.
...great analogy though!

neither analogue is a good idea....also known as Aldifen.

as a note so called "crystal" DNP is actually 2,6 in many cases. its toxicity is CONSIDERABLY higher than 2,4 for a variety of reasons.

careful- it stains bad & is explosive!! (used in detonators)!!

Well actually ........ Aldrich sells 2,3- 2,4- 2,5- and 2,6-dinitrophenol. The 1-position is of course the hydroxy, so why would you think you couldn't synthesize the other isomers?That is the only DNP that exists!

1,4-p-benzoquinone is just bad nomenclature. It's either 1,4-benzoquinone or p-benzoquinone .... err, I wouldnt use o, p, m, for non-aromatic compounds though. But anyway, you are mixing IUPAC and common nomenclature, just use one or the other.
But you are right about there being no 2,4-benzoquinone.
