METRIOL TRINITRATE - Introduction
2-methyl-2-[(nitrooxy)methyl]propane-1,3-diyl dinitrate(2-methyl-2-[(nitrooxy)methyl]propane-1,3-diyl dinitrate) also known as HN.3(Hexogen) or RDX(Research Department extensive).
It is a white crystalline solid, almost insoluble in water, but soluble in some organic solvents. It has a high explosive capacity and is a powerful explosive.
2-methyl-2-[(nitrooxy)methyl] Prototype -1,3-diyl dinitrate is mainly used in military and civilian fields. In the military, it is often used as one of the main components of bombs, missiles and rockets propellant. In the civil field, it can be used in rock blasting, mining, exploration and construction projects.
The preparation method of 2-methyl-2-[(nitrooxy)methyl]propane-1,3-diyl dinitrate is mainly carried out by nitration reaction. Generally, glycerol trinitrate is synthesized first, and then formaldehyde is used as a hydroxymethyl donor to carry out vinyl conversion reaction to generate the target product.
When using 2-methyl-2-[(nitrooxy)methyl]propane-1,3-diyl dinitrate, you need to pay attention to its safety. It is a highly explosive compound with extremely high sensitivity and should be kept safe from impact, friction or static electricity. During operation, appropriate protective equipment should be worn and the relevant safety operation procedures should be strictly followed.
