Methanol → Trinitrophloroglucinol

関与物質

反応手順

Picric acid (0.27 g, 1.20 mmol) and 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole (0.504 g, 6.00 mmol) are dissolved in a mixture of DMSO (3.6 ml) and toluene (4.8 ml) and treated with a 25 wt. % solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (3.00 ml, 13.1 mmol). The resulting suspension is stirred and heated from ambient temperature to 95° C. over a one hour period. The reaction suspension is cooled to ambient temperature prior to the addition of water (22.5 mL) and a 50% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1.95 ml, 37.2 mmol). The brick-red suspension is stirred for 0.5 hour in a heated water bath (98–100° C.) and cooled in an ice bath for several hours. The resulting suspension is filtered and the resulting orange solid (trinitrophloroglucinol sodium salt) is collected and dissolved in hot 3N hydrochloric acid (16 ml). The resulting solution is cooled to ambient temperature prior to storage at 4° C. The crystalline product is collected, washed with cold 3N hydrochloric acid and dried to give trinitrophloroglucinol (0.211 g) in 67% overall yield.
