Usage

General Description

(2R,3S,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5-Tetrahydroxyhexanediamide, also known as erythritol tetranitrate, is a chemical compound derived from erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol. (2R,3S,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5-Tetrahydroxyhexanediamide is commonly used as an explosive agent and is often employed in military applications, such as in the production of plastic-bonded explosives. Erythritol tetranitrate has a low sensitivity to shock and friction, making it a valuable component in munitions and pyrotechnics. Additionally, it has a high detonation velocity and a low production of toxic gases, further contributing to its usefulness as an explosive agent. However, due to its potential hazards, strict safety protocols must be followed in handling and storing this chemical.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING ADIPAMIDE AS INTERMEDIATE FOR PRODUCTION OF RAW MATERIAL FOR BIO-BASED NYLON

Disclosed is a method for producing adipamide, which may include the steps of: (a) reacting glucose, nitric acid (HNO3), sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) to produce a glucaric acid potassium salt, (b) producing glucamide by reacting the glutaric acid potassium salt, with an acidic solution and removing a potassium ion from the glucaric acid potassium salt, (c) preparing an reaction admixture by adding the glucamide and a catalyst to hydrogen halide and acetic acid, and (d) treating the reaction admixture with hydrogen gas in a reactor thereby producing the adipamide.
