Usage

General Description

N-methyl-2,4,6-trinitroaniline, also known as Tetryl, is a highly explosive compound that is commonly used in the production of ammunition and explosives. It is made up of a methyl group attached to a 2,4,6-trinitroaniline molecule, which gives it its explosive properties. Tetryl is a yellow crystalline solid that is highly sensitive to shock, friction, and heat, making it a dangerous compound to handle. It is often used in combination with other explosives to create powerful detonators and boosters. Due to its high explosive power, Tetryl is regulated by many countries and its use is closely monitored to prevent misuse and accidents.

RAPID INJECTION NMR: A SIMPLE TECHNIQUE FOR THE OBSERVATION OF REACTIVE INTERMEDIATES

A system has been designed for the NMR observation (at 60 MHz) of unstable intermediates, with half-lives of 100 ms, at concentration levels above 1E-2 M.Rapid mixing can be achieved in less than 40 ms and a series of eight spectra acquired in less than 1.08 s.Low temperature operation is straightforward.Reactive intermediates involved in the reaction of methylamine with 2,4,6-trinitroanisole and the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of 1,1-diethoxy-2,3-diphenylcycloprop-2-ene were identified, and in a kinetic application, the rate of hydrolysis of trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate was measured.

15N NMR and FTIR studies of 2,4-dinitroanilines and their salts

Twenty-two 2,4-dinitroanilines were synthesised and their pK(a) values were determined. The 2,4-dinitroanilines and their protonated forms were studied by 15N NMR spectroscopy. The relations between the 15N NMR chemical shifts and the pK(a) values of the 2,4-dinitroanilines and their salts were found to be linear. The deprotonation reaction of N-methyl-2,4- dinitroanilines and N-methyl-2,4,6-trinitroaniline by MTBD was successful only for the latter and yielded protonated MTBD molecule and the anion in which the electrons are strongly delocalised. The kinetic parameters of the 2,4-dinitroanilines in reactions with hydroxide ions in mixed solvent DMSO:water (95:5, v/v) were determinated and discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

AROMATIC NUCLEOPHILIC SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS OF ACTIVATED N-ARYLPYRAZOLES WITH FORMAMIDES

Different activated N-arylpyrazoles, as N-(2',4'-dinitrophenyl)-3,5-dimethylpyrazole, N-picryl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole etc., can react with excess formamides, as formamide N-methylformamide and N,N-dimethylformamide, at 165-175 deg C, for 5-6 hours, resulting amines in high yieds.This reaction is influenced by steric hindrance.
