The title compound, C2H8N+·C10H11N2O5−, is a highly toxic herbicide known as dinoseb. The sec-butyl group is disordered [occupancy ratio 0.828 (3):0.172 (3)], while the nitro group in the 6 position is twisted by 25° with respect to the ring plane. Pairs of –O−⋯H—N+—H⋯−O– bridges between phenolic O atoms generate eight-membered hydrogen-bonded rings.

Crystals in the shape of fine, yellow needles were grown by slow evaporation of a diethylether solution of the title complex.

except for atoms with low occupancy (minor disorder component), which were either refined isotropically (sec-butyl group) or constrained to have the same thermal parameters as the near-by atom of the major disorder component (C1, C2, C3). The geometries of the minor and the major component, in terms of lengths and bond angles, were restrained to be more or less similar by a SHELXTL SAME command. Positional parameters were refined for the two ammonium H atoms involved in hydrogen bonding, other H atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and C–H distances fixed in the range 0.95 to 0.99 Å. Uiso values were 1.2Ueq of the or 1.5Ueq for the methyl groups.Large amounts of a highly volatile yellow powder of unknown origin was discovered below the floor planks in the attic of a private home, and a small quantity was forwarded to the University of Oslo for analysis. Single crystals were easily obtained, and subsequent
by X-ray diffraction identified the sample as a dimethylammonium salt of 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol, with common name dinoseb (I). This herbicide has been used in soybeans, vegetables, fruits and nuts, citrus, and other field crops for the selective control of grass and broadleaf weeds (e.g., in corn). It was also used as an insecticide in grapes and as a seed crop Product names for pesticides containing dinoseb include Basanite, Caldon, Chemox, Chemsect DNBP, Dinitro, Dynamyte, Elgetol, Gebutox, Hel-Fire, Kiloseb, Nitropone, Premerge, Sinox General, Subitex, and Vertac Weed Killer. The use of dinoseb was prohibited in the U.S. in 1986, an action based on the potential risk of birth defects and other adverse health effects (EXTOXNET, 1996).2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol has a chiral C-atom at C7, and the title salt is racemic,
C2/c. For simplicity, the R-form alone is shown in Fig. 1, but there is actually disorder at each phenolate position giving a 0.828 (3):0.172 (3) distribution between the R-form and the S-form, as in Fig. 2, or vice versa. Both ammonium H-atoms form strong hydrogen bonds to charged phenolate O atom acceptors, one interaction is visible in Fig. 1.Related structures include achiral analogues with tert-butyl (Lynch & McClenaghan, 2004) and acetyl (= 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitroacetophenone; West-Nielsen et al., 2006) substituents rather than sec-butyl at C2 (both obtained as neutral molecules) as well as a series of proton-transfer complexes of 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid with aliphatic

Experimental. Crystallized from diethyl ether. Three sets of frames each taken over 0.3° ω rotation with 20 s exposure time. Detector set at 2θ = 27°, crystal-to-detector distance 5.00 cm. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 against ALL reflections. |

Large amounts of a highly volatile yellow powder of unknown origin was discovered below the floor planks in the attic of a private home, and a small quantity was forwarded to the University of Oslo for analysis. Single crystals were easily obtained, and subsequent structure determination by X-ray diffraction identified the sample as a dimethylammonium salt of 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol, with common name dinoseb (I). This herbicide has been used in soybeans, vegetables, fruits and nuts, citrus, and other field crops for the selective control of grass and broadleaf weeds (e.g., in corn). It was also used as an insecticide in grapes and as a seed crop drying agent. Product names for pesticides containing dinoseb include Basanite, Caldon, Chemox, Chemsect DNBP, Dinitro, Dynamyte, Elgetol, Gebutox, Hel-Fire, Kiloseb, Nitropone, Premerge, Sinox General, Subitex, and Vertac Weed Killer. The use of dinoseb was prohibited in the U.S. in 1986, an action based on the potential risk of birth defects and other adverse health effects (EXTOXNET, 1996).
2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol has a chiral C-atom at C7, and the title salt is racemic, space group C2/c. For simplicity, the R-form alone is shown in Fig. 1, but there is actually disorder at each phenolate position giving a 0.828 (3):0.172 (3) distribution between the R-form and the S-form, as in Fig. 2, or vice versa. Both ammonium H-atoms form strong hydrogen bonds to charged phenolate O atom acceptors, one interaction is visible in Fig. 1.
Related structures include achiral analogues with tert-butyl (Lynch & McClenaghan, 2004) and acetyl (= 2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitroacetophenone; West-Nielsen et al., 2006) substituents rather than sec-butyl at C2 (both obtained as neutral molecules) as well as a series of proton-transfer complexes of 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid with aliphatic amines (Smith et al., 2002; Smith et al., 2005).
