Butyl tetryl

Butyl Tetryl. See [ 2,4,6-Trinitro-N-nitro-N -(n-butyl)] -aniline sym-Trinitrophenyl-N-(n -butylnitramine) or (2,4,5-Trinitrophenylnitramine) -n-butane under Tetranitro derivs of n-Butylaniline... 

Butyl tetryl is suitable for use in boosters, reinforced detonators, detonating fuse, primer caps, etc. For the detonation of 0.4 gram, it requires 0.19 gram of mercury fulminate. It has a slightly greater shattering effect than TNT in the sand test and shows about the same sensitivity as tetryl in the drop test. It explodes spontaneously at 210°.

The -butyl analogue of tetryl has been prepared by two methods (a) by condensing 2,4 dinitrochlorobenzene with n-butylamine to form 2,4-dinitro-n-butylaniline, and by the nitration of this product and (5) by the nitration in one step of n-butylanilinc. The pure substance crystallizes from alcohol in...
