Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution
A chemical reaction in which an electron-rich nucleophile selectively replaces a leaving group, such as a halide, on an aromatic ring.
Dinitrophenol
A class of organic compounds that contain a phenol ring and two nitro groups, known for their use in biochemistry and weight loss.
Dinitrochlorobenzene
An aromatic compound with two nitro groups and one chloro group attached to a benzene ring, used in the manufacture of dyes and explosives.
