Tetryl 2,4,6-trinitro- anisole Picric Acid N-methyl-2,4,6- trinitroaniline... 

Tetranitroaniline is a rather unstable compound. Thus, when boiled with water its meta- nitro group undergoes hydrolysis to a phenolic group (II), while on boiling with methyl- or ethyl alcohol it yields an anisole- (III) or phenetole derivative (IV), which with ammonia may form trinitro-m-phenylenediamine (V) ...
