The products obtained from these condensations are predictable for simple mono-functional substrates primary amines usually form compounds where two equivalents of primary nitramine are incorporated into the product (Equation 5.19), whereas simple secondary amines can only combine with one equivalent of nitramine (Equation 5.20). The bis-nitramine (185) is formed from the reaction of methylamine with two mole equivalents each of methyl-nitramine and formaldehyde.

A white crystalline precipitate of the ammonium salt of methyl-nitramine is deposited. This is dissolved in alcohol, and the solution is boiled—whereby ammonia is driven off—and concentrated to a small volume. The product is procured by completing the evaporation in a vacuum desiccator over sulfuric acid.

Boosters such as RDX (cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, melting point 204°C, density 1.80), PETN(pentaerythritoltetranitrate, melting point 143°C, density 1.78), and TETRYL (2,4,6-trinitrophenyl methyl nitramine, melting point 129.5°C, density 1.73) are extremely important chemicals.

Methylnitramine decomposes explodvely in contact with concentrated sulfuric acid. If the substance is dissolved in water, and if concentrated sulfuric acid is added little by little until a considerable concentration is built up, then the decomposition proceeds more moderately, nitrous oxide is given off, and dimethyl ether (from the methyl alcohol first formed) remains dissolved in the sulfuric acid. The same production of nitrous made occurs even in the nitrometer in the presence of mercury. If methyl-nitramine and a small amoimt of phenol are dissolved together in water, and if concentrated sulfuric acid is then added little by little, a distinct yellow color shows that a trace of nitric acid has been formed. The fact that methylnitramine gives a blue color witii the diphenylamine reagent shows the same thing. 

Potassium and sodium salts of primary nitramines react ith compounds containing active chlorine, for example picryt-A -cIiloridc and potassium methyl-nitramine yielded teiryl (35J. An interesting application of this reaction is the formation of a polymer from disodium salts of dinitramines and bisvV-chloro-methylnitramines [36) ... 

Primary nitramines are weak acids for example, methyl nitramine shows p/Ca = 6.0 (3].

Dr Claessen (British Patent, 13,340, 1905) has shown that even better effects are obtained by the use of what he calls tetranitro-methylaniline or tetranitro-ethylaniline. These substances are really trinitro-phenyl-methyl-nitramine and trinitro-phenyl-ethyl-nitramine. The commercial name for Claessen ssubstance is tetryl. Tetryl detonator No. 6 contains 0.4 g. of trinitro-phenyl-methyl-nitramine and 0.3 g. of a mixture of 87.5 per cent, mercury fulminate and 12.5 per cent, potassium chlorate.
