2,4,6-Trinitrobenzoic acid (TNBA) is an organic compound with the formula (O 2 N) 3 C 6 H 2 CO 2 H. It is a high explosive nitrated derivative of benzoic acid. Preparation and reactions. 2,4,6-Trinitrobenzoic acid is prepared by oxidation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). It is formed by oxidation of TNT and nitric acid with chlorate and with ...
Picric acid is an organic compound with the formula (O 2 N) 3 C 6 H 2 OH. Its IUPAC name is 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). The name "picric" comes from Greek: πικρός (pikros), meaning "bitter", due to its bitter taste. It is one of the most acidic phenols. Like other strongly nitrated organic compounds, picric acid is an explosive, which is ...
Infobox references. 2,4-Dinitrotoluene ( DNT) or dinitro is an organic compound with the formula C 7 H 6 N 2 O 4. This pale yellow crystalline solid is well known as a precursor to trinitrotoluene (TNT) but is mainly produced as a precursor to toluene diisocyanate .
Infobox references. 1,3,5-Triazido-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene, also known as TATNB (triazidotrinitrobenzene) and TNTAZB (trinitrotriazidobenzene), is an aromatic high explosive composed of a benzene ring with three azido groups (-N 3) and three nitro groups (-NO 2) alternating around the ring, giving the chemical formula C 6 (N 3) 3 (NO 2) 3.
Trinitrotoluene (/ ˌ t r aɪ ˌ n aɪ t r oʊ ˈ t ɒ lj u iː n /), more commonly known as TNT, more specifically 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, and by its preferred IUPAC name 2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, [citation needed] is a chemical compound with the formula C 6 H 2 (NO 2) 3 CH 3.
Trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (C 6 H 3 N 3 O 9 S) is a nitroaryl oxidizing acid. Due to its extreme oxidative properties, if mixed with reducing agents including hydrides, sulfides, and nitrides, it may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in almost immediate detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base ...
Table of explosive detonation velocities. This is a compilation of published detonation velocities for various high explosive compounds. Detonation velocity is the speed with which the detonation shock wave travels through the explosive. It is a key, directly measurable indicator of explosive performance, but depends on density which must ...
12-oxophytodienoate reductase (OPRs) is an enzyme of the family of Old Yellow Enzymes (OYE). [2] OPRs are grouped into two groups: OPRI and OPRII – the second group is the focus of this article, as the function of the first group is unknown, but is the subject of current research. [3] The OPR enzyme utilizes the cofactor flavin mononucleotide ...
