Trinitrotoluene ( / ˌtraɪˌnaɪtroʊˈtɒljuiːn / ), [ 5][ 6] more commonly known as TNT (and more specifically 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene ), and by its preferred IUPAC name 2-methyl-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene[ 1], is a chemical compound with the formula C 6 H 2 (NO 2) 3 CH 3.
Infobox references. 2,4-Dinitrotoluene ( DNT) or dinitro is an organic compound with the formula C 7 H 6 N 2 O 4. This pale yellow crystalline solid is well known as a precursor to trinitrotoluene (TNT) but is mainly produced as a precursor to toluene diisocyanate .
2,4,6-Trinitrobenzoic acid is prepared by oxidation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). It is formed by oxidation of TNT and nitric acid with chlorate [ 2] and with dichromate. [ 3] Upon heating, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid undergoes decarboxylation to give 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene. [ 4] Reduction with tin gives 2,4,6-triaminobenzenoic acid, a ...
Picric acid is an organic compound with the formula (O 2 N) 3 C 6 H 2 OH. Its IUPAC name is 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP). The name "picric" comes from Greek: πικρός (pikros), meaning "bitter", due to its bitter taste. It is one of the most acidic phenols. Like other strongly nitrated organic compounds, picric acid is an explosive, which is ...
Table of explosive detonation velocities. This is a compilation of published detonation velocities for various high explosive compounds. Detonation velocity is the speed with which the detonation shock wave travels through the explosive. It is a key, directly measurable indicator of explosive performance, but depends on density which must ...

Nitroglycerin was written about as early as 1846 [5] [6] and came into medical use in 1878. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The drug nitroglycerin is a dilute form of the same chemical used as the explosive, nitroglycerin . [ 9 ]
12-oxophytodienoate reductase (OPRs) is an enzyme of the family of Old Yellow Enzymes (OYE). [2] OPRs are grouped into two groups: OPRI and OPRII – the second group is the focus of this article, as the function of the first group is unknown, but is the subject of current research. [3] The OPR enzyme utilizes the cofactor flavin mononucleotide ...
