Trinitrobenzene
Trinitrobenzenes are nitrobenzenes consisting of three nitro groups bonded to a central benzene ring. There are three isomers of trinitrobenzene: * 1,2,3-Trinitrobenzene * * 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene is one of three isomers of trinitrobenzene with the formula C6H3(NO2)3. A pale yellow solid, the compound is highly explosive. Synthesis and reactions 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene is produced by decarboxylation of 2,4,6-trinitrob ... Nitrobenzenes {{chemistry index ...

1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene
1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene is one of three isomers of trinitrobenzene with the formula C6H3(NO2)3. A pale yellow solid, the compound is highly explosive. Synthesis and reactions 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene is produced by decarboxylation of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid. 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene forms charge-transfer complexes with electron-rich arenes. Reduction of 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene gives 1,3,5-triaminobenzene, a precursor to phloroglucinol. Uses and applications Trinitrobenzene is more explosive than TNT, but more expensive. It is primarily used as a high explosive compound for commercial mining and military applications. It has also been used as a narrow-range pH indicator, an agent to vulcanize natural rubber, and a mediating agent to mediate the synthesis of other explosive compounds.

Nitrobenzenes
Nitrobenzenes are a group of nitro compounds consisting of one or more Nitro compound, nitro groups as substituents on a benzene core. They have the formula C6H6–''n''(NO2)''n'', where ''n'' = 1–6 is the number of nitro groups. Depending on the number of nitro groups, there may be several constitutional isomers possible. * Mononitrobenzene * Dinitrobenzene ** 1,2-Dinitrobenzene ** 1,3-Dinitrobenzene ** 1,4-Dinitrobenzene * Trinitrobenzene ** 1,2,3-Trinitrobenzene ** 1,2,4-Trinitrobenzene ** 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene * Tetranitrobenzene ** 1,2,3,4-Tetranitrobenzene ** 1,2,3,5-Tetranitrobenzene ** 1,2,4,5-Tetranitrobenzene * Pentanitrobenzene * Hexanitrobenzene Nitrobenzenes, {{Chemistry index ...

Nitro Compound
In organic chemistry, nitro compounds are organic compounds that contain one or more nitro functional groups (). The nitro group is one of the most common explosophores (functional group that makes a compound explosive) used globally. The nitro group is also strongly electron-withdrawing. Because of this property, bonds alpha (adjacent) to the nitro group can be acidic. For similar reasons, the presence of nitro groups in aromatic compounds retards electrophilic aromatic substitution but facilitates nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Nitro groups are rarely found in nature. They are almost invariably produced by nitration reactions starting with nitric acid. Synthesis Preparation of aromatic nitro compounds Aromatic nitro compounds are typically synthesized by nitration. Nitration is achieved using a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, which produce the nitronium ion (), which is the electrophile: + The nitration product produced on the largest scale, by f ...

Benzene
Benzene is an Organic compound, organic chemical compound with the Chemical formula#Molecular formula, molecular formula C6H6. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a planar hexagonal Ring (chemistry), ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each. Because it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon. Benzene is a natural constituent of petroleum and is one of the elementary petrochemicals. Due to the cyclic continuous pi bonds between the carbon atoms, benzene is classed as an aromatic hydrocarbon. Benzene is a colorless and highly Combustibility and flammability, flammable liquid with a sweet smell, and is partially responsible for the aroma of gasoline. It is used primarily as a Precursor (chemistry), precursor to the manufacture of chemicals with more complex structures, such as ethylbenzene and cumene, of which billions of kilograms are produced annually. Although benzene is a major Chemical industry, industrial che ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
