Very little information on other dinitrocresol isomers was located, but toxicity studies in animals conducted by parenteral routes and genotoxicity studies in bacteria indicate that 2,6-dinitro- p-cresol is similar in potency and action to 4,6-DNOC, but that 4,6-dinitro-m-cresol is less toxic.

Dinitro-o-cresol or 4,5-di-nitro-2-methyl phenol is an yellow crystalline compound having m.p. of 87°C (pure grade). It is pseudoacid and readily forms water-soluble ammonium potassium or sodium salts.

Found in m-dinitro compounds examined where other additional groups, if any, were ortho to the nitro. Not found in sym-trinitro compounds but present in 2,3,4- and 2,4,5-trinitrotoluene. Absent in 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid and 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol. It appears that a group meta to the nitro inhibits the band.
