24-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH Brady’s reagent) is the chemical compound C6H3(NO2)2NHNH2. Dinitrophenylhydrazine is relatively sensitive to shock and friction; it is a shock explosive so care must be taken with its use. It is a red to orange solid usually supplied wet to reduce its explosive hazard. It is a substituted hydrazine and is often used to qualitatively test for carbonyl groups associated with aldehydes and ketones.
