After World War I, major research programmes were inaugurated to find new and more powerful explosive materials. From these programmes came cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine [(RDX) (C3H6N606)] also called Cyclonite or Hexogen, and pentaerythritol tetranitrate [(PETN) (C5H8N4012)]. [Pg.9]

Of the several explosives which are preparable from formaldehyde, two are the most powerful and brisant of the solid high explosives which are suitable for military use. One of these, cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine or cyclonite, is a nitroamine and is discussed in the chapter which is devoted to those substances. The other, pentaerythrite tetranitrate or PETN, is a nitric ester. Both may be prepared from coke and air. [Pg.277]

The nitroamines are substituted ammonias, substances in which a nitro group is attached directly to a trivalent nitrogen atom. They are prepared in general either by the nitration of a nitrogen base or of one of its salts, or they are prepared by the splitting off of water from the nitrate of the base by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid upon it. At present two nitroamines are of particular interest to the explosives worker, namely, nitro-guanidine and cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (cyclonite). Both are produced from synthetic materials which have become available in large commercial quantities only since the first World War, the first from cyanamide, the second from formaldehyde from the oxidation of synthetic methyl alcohol.

Acid—Base Chemistry. Acetic acid dissociates in water, pffa = 4.76 at 25°C. It is a mild acid which can be used for analysis of bases too weak to detect in water (26). It readily neutralizes the ordinary hydroxides of the alkali metals and the alkaline earths to form the corresponding acetates. When the crude material pyroligneous acid is neutralized with limestone or magnesia the commercial acetate of lime or acetate of magnesia is obtained (7). Acetic acid accepts protons only from the strongest acids such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Other acids exhibit very powerful, superacid properties in acetic acid solutions and are thus useful catalysts for esterifications of olefins and alcohols (27). Nitrations conducted in acetic acid solvent are effected because of the formation of the nitronium ion, NO J. Hexamethylenetetramine [100-97-0] may be nitrated in acetic acid solvent to yield the explosive cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine [121-82-4], also known as cyclonit or RDX. [Pg.66]

RDX. RDX (2.14), also known as Hexogen, Cyclonite and cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (CsHeNeOe), was first prepared in 1899 by Henning for medicinal use and used as an explosive in 1920 by Herz. The properties and preparation of RDX were fully developed during World War II. [Pg.48]
