2,4,6-Trinitroaniline

2,4,6-Trinitroaniline , C 6 H4 N4 O6 , abbreviated as TNAand also known as picramide , a nitrated amine . Mate-rials in this group range from slight to strong oxidizingagents . If mixed with reducing agents , includinghydrides , suldes and nitrides , they may begin a vigorousreaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromaticnitro compounds may explode in the presence of a basesuch as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even inthe presence of water or organic solvents. The explosivetendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by

the presence of multiple nitro groups.[1]

The appearanceof trinitroaniline varies from yellow to orange to red de-pending on its purity and concentration.

1 Applications/Uses

Trinitroaniline is only used in modern times in the smallwarheads of some explosive devices such as mortars . InWorld War II it was used by Imperial Japanese Navyas Type 97 bakuyaku (Model 1931 explosive) in someversions of gun projectiles instead of less stable burster

schimose .[2]

It was also used in the Yokosuka MXY-7Ohka , a kamikaze antishipping vessel.

2 Health and safety

Trinitroaniline is dangerously explosive. Symptoms ofexposure to this compound may include skin and eye ir-ritation, headache, drowsiness, weakness, cyanosis , andrespiratory distress.
