Reaction Steps
U.S. Pat. No. 2,945,890 to Allan shows a method of preparing 2,4-dinitroresorcinol using a sulfuric acid/nitric acid nitrating solution. Apparently, however, styphnic acid (2,4,6-trinitroresorcinol), an undesirable and explosive side product, is also produced in fairly substantial quantities.
