, p. 2572 - 2578 (2007/10/02)
The formation of diazophenols by nitration of suitably substituted anilines and rearrangement of the nitroaromatic nitramines so formed is presented.The scope of the reaction is discussed, and a mechanism for the nitramine/diazophenol rearrangement is proposed which is consistent with 15N-labeling experiments.
Methods of preparing pentanitrotoluene

Pentanitrotoluene is prepared by a method which comprises preparing an amdinitrotoluene from a precursor of either TNT or 2,5-dinitro-3-methylbenzoic acid, nitrating the aminodinitrotoluene to produce a nitramine intermediate, converting the nitramine intermediate to an aminotetranitrotoluene and oxidizing the aminotetranitrotoluene with peroxydisulfuric acid to pentanitrotoluene. Pentanitrotoluene is an explosive.
