(2-butan-2-yl-4,6-dinitro-phenyl) (2,4-dinitrophenyl) carbonate

Dinofenate is commercially produced by a process that involves reacting 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol with 2,4-dinitrophenyl chloroformate under controlled conditions to form the final compound, chemically known as (2-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenyl)(2,4-dinitrophenyl) carbonate. This process typically uses organic solvents and base catalysts to facilitate the nucleophilic substitution and ensure high yield.

Uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation via disruption of proton gradient.
