Participants

Reaction Steps

At a temperature of not higher than 0° C., 107 grams (1 mole) of benzylamine was dropped into 643 grams (10 moles) of 98% nitric acid over a period of 5 hours. After dropping was completed, the reaction was continued at 20°-25° C. for 3 hours with stirring. The resultant reaction mixture was poured into 750 grams of ice water to filter separated crystals, which were washed with an aqueous sodium chloride solution to obtain 254 grams of wet nitrobenzylamine nitrate crystals having a solid content of 61%.
