A method to convert surplus nitroarene explosives (picric acid, ammonium picrate,) into TATB is described. The process comprises three major steps: conversion of picric acid/ammonium picrate into picramide; conversion of picramide to TATB through vicarious nucleophilic substitution (VNS) of hydrogen chemistry; and purification of TATB.
