Synthesis of trinitrophloroglucinol and triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB)
Abstract
A method to convert surplus nitroarene explosives into trinitrophloroglucinol and triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB) is described. Picric acid is directly aminated to diaminopicric acid, which is converted to trinitrophloroglucinol and triaminotrinitrobenzene.
