2,4,6-Trinitroaniline, C6H4N4O6, abbreviated as TNA and also known as picramide, a nitrated
reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups.[1]
The appearance of trinitroaniline varies from yellow to orange to red depending on its purity and concentration.
Applications/Uses
Trinitroaniline is only used in modern times in the small warheads of some explosive devices such as
Ohka, a kamikaze
antishipping human-guided rocket aircraft.
Health and safety
Trinitroaniline is dangerously explosive and also hepatoxic.[3] Symptoms of exposure to this compound may include skin and eye irritation, headache, drowsiness, weakness, cyanosis, and respiratory distress.[medical citation needed]
