Ethanolamine nitric ester nitrate

Ethanolamine nitric ester nitrate (ethanolamine dinitrate) N03NH3CH2CH20N02 is a solid melting at 103°C. According to Naoum this compound can be prepared by nitrating ethanolamine [68], Aubry [69] has reported that a yield of 90-96% can be achieved in this reaction. This method of preparation has not been confirmed by some authors. Serious disadvantages of the substance include its inclination to absorb moisture, and the readiness with which it loses nitric acid owing to the wealdy basic properties of the amine [70],...

Naoiim [68] has drawn attention to the nitric acid salts of ethanolamine nitric esters (O-nitrated etlianolamines), i.e. mono-, di- and triethanolamine nitrate salts, as substances suitable for explosives. Nitration of a mixture of all three ethanolamines furnishes an oil-like, insufficiently stable product, readily decomposed with the evolution of oxides of nitrogen. The individual substances are crystal products soluble in water, in which they are hydrolysed. e... 

Pentryl, or 2,4,6-trinitrophenyInitraminoethyI nitrate, is another explosive which is derived from ethylene. It is a nitric ester, an aromatic nitro compound, and a nitroamine. The substance was described in 1925 by Moran54 who prepared it by the action of mixed acid on 2,4-dinitrophenylethanolamine (large orange-yellow crystals from alcohol, m.p. 92°) procured by the interaction of dinitrochlorobenzene with ethanolamine. von Herz later prepared pentryl by the nitration of 0-hydroxyethylaniline, a material which is more commonly called phenylethanolamine and is now available commercially in this country, and was granted...
