Pentryl Derivatives

Pentryl has been prepared by two methods (a) from aniline and ethylene oxide (according to Herz [80]) and (b) from chlorodinitrobenzene and ethanolamine (according to Moran) with the subsequent nitration of N-hydroxyethylaniline or its dinitro derivative ... 

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...
