Sites polluted with 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) constitute a worldwide problem. In this work, chemical reactions for binding TNT to amino-compounds are proposed as an initial step for developing new remediation techniques to clean-up groundwater and soils contaminated with TNT. Indeed, addition of aniline and an amino acid-like cysteine caused a decrease in free TNT of 86 percent and 68-100 percent, respectively. Using 13C-NMR spectroscopy, it was shown that TNT chemically forms a Meisenheimer complex with cysteine and aniline in 1/1 (by vol.) H2O/d6-acetone.

The reaction of bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) sulfone and some of its 3- and 3,3'-substituted derivatives with organic bases leads to the formation of an adduct of 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene or its substituted derivative and the respective amine, sulfur trioxide, and 2,4,6-trinitrodiphenylamine and its derivatives or derivatives of 2,4,6-trinitroaniline.The direction of reaction does not depend on the ratio of the initial compounds or on the temperature.It was established that attack by the nucleophilic reagent takes place at the ring in which the largest positive charge is induced at the carbon atom attached to the sulfur.
