| 2,4,6-TRINITROBENZOIC ACID Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | Orthorhombic crystals. Sublimes with decomposition, forming carbon
dioxide and trinitrobenzene; slightly soluble in
water and benzene; soluble in alcohol, ether, and
acetone. | 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
