| Methyl picrate Chemical Properties |
| Methyl picrate Usage And Synthesis |
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.] |
