Identification of biotransformation products from 2,4-dinitrotoluene

N G McCormick et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1978 May.

Abstract

The products of microbial transformation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene by Mucrosporium sp. were identified by thin-layer chromatography and by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry as 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene, 4-amino-2-nitrotoluene, 2,2'-dinitro-4,4'-azoxytoluene, 4,4'-dinitro-2,2'-azoxytoluene, and 4-acetamido-2-nitrotoluene. A third azoxy compound, believed to be a "mixed" type (i.e., 2,4'-azoxy or 4,2'-azoxy), was isolated but not yet identified.
