Methyl picrate Usage And Synthesis
UsesExplosive compositions.
General DescriptionA 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 ReactionsMethyl picrate is insoluble in water
Reactivity ProfileMethyl 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 HazardFire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Fire HazardMAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 meters (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO.
Purification MethodsCrystallise 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.]
