355 Trinitropyridine-N-oxide<br />

It is prepared by nitration of dinitrophenylaminoethanol, which is in turn<br />

formed by condensation of dinitrochlorobenzene with monoethanolamine.<br />

sensitivity of friction: at 353 N = 36 kp pin load,<br />

no reaction<br />

Trinitropyridine is obtained by means of reduction of W Trinitropyridine-<br />

N-oxide with sodium nitrite in a solution of sulfuric acid.<br />

Although this compound is a potent explosive, it has yet to gain<br />

widespread use.<br />
