Uses

Explosive compositions.

Uses

2,4,6-Trinitrobenzoic Acid is used in preparation of Trimethylbenzoyl Chloride.

Hazard

Dangerous, explodes by heat or shock.

Safety Profile

An explosive. A hazard in preparation. Reacts with heavy metals to form heator impact-sensitive explosive salts. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also NITRO COMPOUNDS of AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS and EXPLOSIVES , HIGH.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from distilled H2O. Dry in a vacuum desiccator. The amide has m 264o (from EtOH). [Beilstein 9 H 417, 9 I
