HCID 79231Benzene, 1-methoxy-3,5-dinitro-

Procedure

Sodium (575 mg, 25 mmol) was dissolved in absolute methanol (100 ml). 1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene (4.26 g, 20 mmol) was then added and the solution was stirred overnight. After evaporation of the solvent, water was added and the precipitate was filtered off, washed with water and dried. The material was used without purification in the next step. Yield: 3.4 g (86%).
