Chemistry:Trinitroethylorthocarbonate
From HandWiki
Trinitroethylorthocarbonate, also known as TNEOC, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C(OCH
2C(NO

4. It is an oxidizer with excellent chemical stability. Its explosion point is 238 °C, and it begins to be decomposed at 200 °C. Its explosion heat is 5.797 J/g and specific volume is 694 L/kg.[1] Its structure is closely related to that of trinitroethylorthoformate (TNEOF). Both are highly explosive and very shock-sensitive, and may be dissolved in nitroalkanes to reduce their shock-sensitivity.[1]
Synthesis
TNEOC can be prepared by the reaction of trinitroethanol with carbon tetrachloride, catalyzed by FeCl3:[2]
- 4 HOCH
2C(NO

3 + CCl
4 → TNEOC + 4 HCl
