Methyl nitrate Uses

Methyl nitrate (CAS NO.598-58-3) is toxic and a sensitive explosive.

Methyl nitrate Production

Methyl nitrate (CAS NO.598-58-3) can be produced by the condensation of nitric acid and methanol:
CH₃OH + HNO₃ → CH₃NO₃ + H₂O
Methyl nitrate can be produced on a laboratory or industrial scale either through the distillation of a mixture of methanol and nitric acid, or by the nitration of methanol by a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids. The first procedure is not preferred due to the great explosion danger presented by the methyl nitrate vapour. The second procedure is essentially identical to that of making nitroglycerin. However, the process is usually run at a slightly higher temperature and the mixture is stirred mechanically on an industrial scale instead of with compressed air.

Methyl nitrate Specification

Methyl nitrate (CAS NO.598-58-3) causes headaches when fumes are inhaled.When ignited it burns extremely fiercely with a gray-blue flame.
The velocity of detonation (VOD) of methyl nitrate is 8000 m/s and is one of the most brisant explosives known. The sensitivity of methyl nitrate to initiation by detonation is among the greatest known, with even a number one blasting cap, the lowest power available, producing a near full detonation of the explosive.
Despite the superior explosive properties of methyl nitrate, it has not received application as an explosive due mostly to its high volatility, which prevents it from being stored or handled safely. It was used as a rocket fuel by Germany in World War II, in a mixture containing 25% methanol, which was named "myrol". This mixture would evaporate at a constant rate and so would not change its composition of methanol and present an explosive danger on longer term storage.
