Atkins, Ronald L.,Hollins, Richard A.,Wilson, William S.
, p. 3261 - 3266 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of the three isomeric aminotetranitrotoluenes by nitration of an appriopriate aminodinitrotoluene is presented, and the apparent ipso nitration of 4-amino-2,6-dinitrotoluene to give pentanitroaniline, is also discussed.The oxidation of the isomeric aminotetranitrotoluenes to pentanitrotoluene is described, as is the ammonolysis of pentanitroaniline and of pentanitrotoluene.
