121-82-4 Usage

Chemical Properties

Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-S-triazine is a white crystalline compound.

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 121-82-4 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Cyclonite is a high explosive and principal constituent of plastic bombs. It is preparedby treating hexamethylenetetramine with nitric acid,ammoniumnitrate,andaceticanhydride: It is also used as a rat poison.
2. High explosive; rodenticide.RDX is a convulsant.

Definition

Different sources of media describe the Definition of 121-82-4 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Cyclonite: A highly explosive nitrocompound, (CH2N.NO2)3. It has acyclic structure with a six-memberedring of alternating CH2 groups andnitrogen atoms, with each nitrogenbeing attached to a NO2 group. It ismade by nitrating hexamine,C6H12N4, which is obtained from ammoniaand methanal. Cyclonite is avery powerful explosive used mainlyfor military purposes. It is also calledRDX. The abbreviation is for ‘ResearchDepartment composition X’,used at the Chemical Research andDevelopment Department, Woolwich.
2. ChEBI: An N-nitro compound that is 1,3,5-triazinane in which all three of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogens have been replaced by nitro groups. It is widely used in both industrial and military explosives.

General Description

Cyclotrimethylene trinitramine is an explosive. The explosion can be initiated by a sudden shock, high temperature or a combination of the two. The primary hazard is from blast effect and not from flying projectiles and fragments. Under prolonged exposure to heat or fire they can explode.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

CYCLOTRIMETHYLENE TRINITRAMINE is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, combustible materials and heat. Detonates on contact with mercury fulminate . Danger of explosion when dry. The self heating and explosive decomposition of the explosive and aqueous alkali (calcium hydroxide) has been studied, [Chem Abs., 1988, 109, 112968].

Health Hazard

Cyclonite is a highly toxic substance. Repeated exposure can cause nausea, vomiting, and convulsions.LD50 value, oral (rats): 100 mg/kg.

Fire Hazard

MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 meters (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal, and intravenous routes. An experimental teratogen. Other experimental reproductive effects. A corrosive irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Cases of epileptifonn convulsions have been reported from exposure. It is one of the most powerful high explosives in use today. Has more shattering power than TNT and is often mixed with TNT as a bursting charge for aerial bombs, mines, and torpedoes. It is easily initiated by mercury fulrmnate, which may be used as a booster. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also MINES, NITRATES, and EXPLOSIVES, HIGH.

Potential Exposure

A potential danger to those involved in the manufacture of this material and its handling in munitions and solid-propellant manufacture. It is also used as a rat poison; a powerful military explosive; a base charge for detonators; and in plastic explosives.

Incompatibilities

Heat, physical damage, shock, and deto- nators. Detonates on contact with mercury fulminate. Keep away from other explosives, combustibles, oxidizers (such as chlorates, nitrates, perchlorates, permanganates, perox- ides; bromine, chlorine, and fluorine); reducing agents; and aqueous alkaline solutions.

Waste Disposal

Pour over soda ash, neutralize and flush to sewer with water. Also HMX may be recov- ered from solid propellant waste.

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 121-82-4 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,2 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 121-82:
(5*1)+(4*2)+(3*1)+(2*8)+(1*2)=34
34 % 10 = 4
So 121-82-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Mechanistic studies of the nitration of hexamethylenetetramine (1) and some derivatives are reported and are compared with acetylation reactions.Nitration reactions, with nitric acid, were carried out using mixtures of - and -compounds and the destination of the nitrogen-isotopes in the products was determined mass spectrometrically.The results show that in nitration of (1) to give 3,7-dinitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclononane (DPT) extensive ring cleavage occurs to give species containing single amino-nitrogen fragments.Howover the nitration of 3,7-diacetyl- 1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclononane to 1,5-diacetyl-3,7-dinitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclooctane (DADN) involves selective cleavage of the methylene bridge.A synthesis of DADN by acetolysis of DPT is reported.

An efficient and solvent-free method to synthesize HMX by nitrolysis of DPT catalyzed by reusable solid acid catalysts

Shaghayeghi Toosi, Foad,Jadidoleslami, Mahdi

, p. 159 - 162 (2016)

Direct nitrolysis of 3,7-dinitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo[3,3,1]nonane (DPT) is a feasible way to synthesize HMX, which is one of the most powerful explosives. A new nitrolysis process involving the use of nitric acid and various solid acid catalysts such as silica sulfuric acid, heteropoly acids, and metal nitrates was used as an effective and safe nitrating agents for the nitration of DPT to HMX under mild and heterogeneous conditions with good yields. In order to optimize the process, the reactions were carried out with a varying amount of catalysts and also the catalysts were efficiently recovered.

Investigation of the effect of metallic lewis acid on the nitrolysis of [3,7-diacetyl-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo(3.3.1)-nonane] and hexamine

Shi, Liangwei,Yu, Menglong,Zhang, Yazhu,Qin, Guangming,Lue, Jian,Zhao, Gang

, p. 283 - 287 (2011)

The effect of metallic ions on the nitrolysis of DAPT [3,7-diacetyl-1,3,5, 7-tetraazabicyclo(3.3.1)nonane] and HA (hexamine) was investigated by experimental and theoretical approaches. The combinatorial reagent, M(NO -3)n/Ac2/NH4NO 3 (M=Mg2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Bi 3+, Fe3+ and Zr4+), was found to be efficient in the experiment of the nitrolysis of DAPT. A key intermediate during the nitrolysis of DAPT was detected by 1H NMR. The formation mechanism of the intermediate was proposed and analyzed. Some discrepant results for the nitrolysis of DAPT and HA catalyzed by different metallic nitrates were explained based on hard-soft and acid-base principle and stabilized energy of ion-complex. From the latter point of view, some cations with high polarizable ligands, e.g., OSO2CF3-, (CF3SO 2)2N-, and (C4F9SO 2)2N-, can increase the yields. Two newly designed catalysts, Cu[(CF3SO2)2N]2 and Cu[(C4F9SO2)2N]2, were tested to be highly efficient. Copyright

Novel Method for Directly Nitration of OH-, SH-and NHR-Functions in Organic Molecules by Means of in Situ Generated Carbonic Acid Dinitrate

-

Page/Page column 3, (2012/09/22)

The invention relates to a nitration method having the following principles: a phosgene species is converted with two equivalent silver nitrates into a double-mixed anhydride of carbonic acid and nitric acid, known here as carbonic acid dinitrate (I). Said operation is carried out in situ, and the formed dinitrate decomposes spontaneously. In addition to carbon dioxide, nitrate ions and nitronium ions are formed, said ions comprising electrophiles which are necessary for nitration. The solution which is used is acetonitrile, and is insignificant if the alcohol species is dissolved or suspended. The necessary equivalent silver nitrates are introduced into the system and optionally heated or cooled to the desired temperature. Subsequently, the acid chloride is introduced slowly, drop by drop or slowly little by little. Phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene and chloroformic acid ester can be used as carbonic acid dichloride and monochloride, and their thiocarbonic acid analogues. A brown colouration and precipitated silver chloride display the formation of the carbonic acid reactants, said brown colouration rapidly discolouring due to an immediate reaction of the nitronium ions with the substrate with is to be nitrated. Towards the end of the addition of phosgene, the brown colouration remains for longer and longer until it no longer disappears. Then, it is stirred for another hour at room temperature. In the event of high acid-sensitive educts, non-nucleophilic nitrogen bases such as DBU can be added to the system in order to intercept the formation of nitric acid.
