Synthesis and characterisation of 4-picrylamino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (PADNT): a new insensitive explosive.
A chemoselective reductive method has been achieved for the preparation of 4-picrylamino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (PADNT), a new insensitive energetic material which has been characterised by spectral data and elemental analysis. Some explosive properties of the compound have also been determined and the results indicate that PANDT is quite safe to impact and friction.
