It`s not impressive really but it will give a bit of incitation with trinitromethane
and some to the the trinitroethanol synthesis. The process is samewhat sensitive and the TNM should be free of acid.
Snthesis 1:
Place 114 g of 37% formaldehyde to a 1000 ml 3-necked 1000 ml flask and set the flask to a cold water bad. Combine a second mixture of 192 g neutral and pure trinitromethane and 1 g potassium carbonate in 10 ml distilled water in a 500ml beaker. Over a period of an hour drop the second solution to the first and maintain the temperature of the liquid below 20 °C. Shake the flask and add some ice to the water bad if it necessary. Set the water bad to a hotplate, seal the flask with glass wool and the flask is heated gradually to 60 °C for four hours. Connect the flask to a vacuum equipment and solution is concentrated as much as possible and the formaldehyde is removed by adding several small portions of water. Than 50 g of sodium chloride powder is added and the product is extracted with four 300 ml portions of methylene chloride. The combined extract is dried of anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the methylene chloride is removed under reduced pressure.
Synthesis 2:
Prepare a mixture of 200 g neutral and pure trinitromethane, 120 ml distilled water and 0,2 g sodium hydroxide in a 3-necked 1000 ml flask. Place the flask to a cold water bad, add 100 g of paraformaldehyde powder and seal the flask with glass wool. The flask is standing in the water bad for one day and is shaked every half hours. Maintain the temperature of the water bad below 25 °C. After that, place the water bad to a hotplate, the water bad is heated gradually to 60 °C and than the flask is shaken every several minutes. After an hour, the process is continued and the product is extracted exactly as synthesis 1.
Have anyone infos to a synth. and trinitroethanol ? Look`s nice but i don`t have much infos to this and if this is correct. Oh, this is my end.
