Procedure

Diaminopicric acid (0.193 g, 0.748 mmol) and diammonium hydrogen phosphate (0.990 g, 7.50 mmol) are suspended in dry sulfolane (3 ml) and stirred in a Teflon® capped glass pressure tube (8 ml). The suspension is heated with stirring from ambient temperature to 177° C. over a 2 hr period. Stirring and heating (177° C.) is continued for an additional 6 hours. The reaction tube is cooled to 4° C. and the resulting suspension is mixed with water (40 ml). The precipitated product is collected, washed with water and dried to yield TATB in the form of a brown solid (0.154 g, 80%).
