Page 6-7, (2010/02/07)
A continuous process for preparing alkoxynitroarenes, such as 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 1-isopropoxy-2,4-dinitrobenzene, is provided. The continuous process of the present invention provides for the effective handling and manufacture of alkoxynitroarenes and permits the utilization of the continuous processing equipment already in place in a number of trinitrotoluene (TNT) manufacturing facilities. Thus, the present invention provides a continuous process for the large scale manufacture of TNT alternatives which does not require re-facilitization.
