New synthetic routes to the three isomeric tetranitrotoluenes 1-3 are described, including the previously unreported 2,3,4,5-tetranitrotoluene (1).Methods include peroxydisulfuric acid oxidation of trinitrotoluidines and hypophosphorous acid reduction of

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.
