2,4-Dinitroanisole ( DNAN for short ) is a solid with a melting point of 94-96 ° C. It is derived from both anisole (methoxybenzene) and nitrobenzene or dinitrobenzenes . The structure consists of a benzene ring with a methoxy group (-OCH ₃ ) and two nitro groups (-NO ₂ ) as substituents . Together with trinitrotoluene or trinitroanisole , it is used to produce meltable and castable explosives.
