Introduction
P-ethylnitrobenzene (abbreviation: DEN) is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of ethylnitrobenzene:
Quality:
1. Appearance: P-ethylnitrobenzene is a colorless to light yellow liquid.
2. Solubility: p-ethylnitrobenzene is soluble in alcohols and ether organic solvents.
Use:
1. Manufacture of explosives: p-ethylnitrobenzene can be used as a raw material for high-energy explosives, such as the synthesis of TNT (trinitrotoluene).
2. Detonating cord: P-ethylnitrobenzene is also used as a component of the detonating cord.
3. Chemical synthesis: p-ethylnitrobenzene is an important intermediate in organic synthesis and can be used to synthesize other compounds.
Method:
The preparation of p-ethylnitrobenzene can be used to react styrene with nitric acid to generate p-ethylaryl nitrate, and then treated with sulfuric acid to obtain p-ethylnitrobenzene.
Safety Information:
1. P-ethylnitrobenzene is a flammable liquid and should be kept away from fire and high temperatures.
