Synthesis of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) Using Flow Chemistry

Synthesis of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) Using Flow Chemistry

This paper describes the nitration of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT) and its conversion to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) at a gram scale with the use of a fully automated flow chemistry system. The conversion of DNT to TNT traditionally requires the use of highly hazardous reagents like fuming sulfuric acid...
