National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Pilot Plant Synthesis of TCTNB from Trichloronitrosobenzene.

MHSMP7827

Publication Date	1978
Personal Author	Estes, Z. L.; Locke, J. G.
Page Count	6
Abstract	TCBNO can be used as a substitute for TCB in the production of TCTNB; however, the yields appear to be substantially less. The yield of TCTNB from TCB usually is in the range of 76 to 80% while the yield obtained from TCBNO in these experiments was 55 to 65%. The primary processing difficulty encountered was foaming of the reaction mixture which may be the result of an excessively high TCBNO/HNO sub 3 ratio, the presence of unknown impurities in the reaction mixture, or both. The quality of the TCTNB produced appears to be the same for either starting material. (ERA citation 04:014493)
