2,3,6-TRINITROPHENOL - Introduction
2,3,6-trinitrophenol, moistened with water (H2O ~), commonly known as picoether or kamphol, is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
- 2,3,6-trinitrophenol moistened with water (H2O ~) is a yellow crystalline powder that can sometimes combine with water to form a yellow wet substance.
-It has a strong pungent odor.
-Its melting point is 121-122°C and its boiling point is 282°C.
- 2,3,6-trinitrophenol moistened with water (H2O ~) is insoluble in water at room temperature, but can form a certain solution in water.
Use:
- 2,3,6-trinitrophenol moistened with water (H2O ~) is commonly used in chemical laboratories for staining, color development and biological tissue fixation.
-It is also used as a component of high-energy explosives because it is sensitive to impact and friction.
-Due to its special chemical properties, it is also used as an insecticide and herbicide.
Preparation Method:
- 2,3,6-trinitrophenol moistened with water (H2O ~) can be prepared by the reaction of phenol with nitric acid.
-First, phenol is reacted with concentrated nitric acid in the presence of dilute sulfuric acid to produce a nitration reaction. Then the main nitration reaction was carried out to obtain 2,3,6-trinitrophenol moistened with water (H2O ~).
Safety Information:
- 2,3,6-trinitrophenol moistened with water (H2O ~) is strongly toxic and irritant.
-This compound is explosive and very unstable.
-During storage and operation, correct safety measures must be taken to avoid contact with flammable, explosive and oxides to prevent accidents.
-In case of contact with skin, eyes or respiratory tract, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.
