Methyl picrate Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Uses
Explosive compositions.
General Description
A crystalline structure. Specific gravity of 1.4. Melting point 154°F. Highly toxic. May explode under exposure to intense heat or fire. Primary hazard is blast of an instantaneous explosion, not flying projectiles or fragments.
Air & Water Reactions
Methyl picrate is insoluble in water
Reactivity Profile
Methyl picrate is one of the least sensitive and shock safest explosives. Methyl picrate is quite toxic to humans and therefore, hasn't been used in general as an explosive.
Health Hazard
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Fire Hazard
MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 meters (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO.
Purification Methods
Crystallise it from EtOH or MeOH. Dry it in vacuo.[Beilstein 6 H 288, 6 I 140, 6 II 280, 6 III 968, 6 IV 1456.]
