2,6-Dinitrotoluene (DNT) or dinitro is an organic compound with the formula C7H6N2O4. This pale yellow crystalline
solid is well known as a precursor to trinitrotoluene (TNT) but is mainly produced as a precursor to toluene diisocyanate.

Application
Most DNT is used in the production of toluene diisocyanate, which is used to produce flexible polyurethane foams.
DNT is hydrogenated to produce 2,4-toluenediamine, which in turn is phosgenated to give toluene diisocyanate.
In this way, about 1.4 billion kilograms are produced annually, as of the years 1999–2000.[5] Other uses include the
explosives industry. It is not used by itself as an explosive, but some of the production is converted to TNT.
