1-Bromo-2,4-dinitrobenzene has been used in the preparation of 2,4-dinitrophenol via treatment with KO2-crown ether complex in benzene. It is used as substrate in protein determination and glutathione S-transferase (GST) assay of chicken and rat prostaglandin D2 synthase (PGDS).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
