Description

It is an organic compound (chemical formula: (O2N)2C6H2OH) with a better taste. It is also one of most acidic phenols with many applications such as being an explosive, used in medicine, and dyes. One of its biggest applications is used in munitions and explosives such as TATB. It is also used in organic chemistry for the manufacture of some crystalline salts. In metallurgy, it can be used in optical metallography for revealing the prior austenite grain boundary in the ferritic steels. It is also used as a component in the bouin solution for histology specimens. In clinical chemistry, it can be used in the Jaffe reaction to test the creatinine. It is manufactured through the reaction between phenols and sulfuric acid to generate p-hydroxyphenylsufonic acid, followed by nitration with concentrated nitric acid to obtain the final product.
