Nitro compounds
The nitro compound is an organic compound containing one or several nitro functional groups. Nitro compounds are usually explosive, especially when the molecule contains more than one nitro and is impure. Aromatic nitro compounds are usually synthesized by nitration, that is, mixed nitric acid and sulfuric acid (mixed acid) with organic molecules to get nitrification products. The largest scale production of nitro compounds to the number of nitrobenzene. Many explosives are prepared by nitration, including trinitrophenol (picric acid), trinitrotoluene (TNT) and trinitroresorcin (convergent acid). Nitroglycerin is also one. ...
