The synthesis of the three isomeric aminotetranitrotoluenes by nitration of an appropriate aminodinitrotoluene is presented, and the apparent ipso nitration of 4-amino-2, 6-dinitrotoluene to give pentanitroaniline is also discussed. The oxidation of the isomeric aminotetranitrotoluenes to pentanitrotoluene is described, as is the ammonolysis of pentanitroaniline and of pentanitrotoluene.Our continuing interest in highly nitrated species, en-ergetic materials which have explosive and propellant applications, has prompted us to investigate methods of preparation of pernitrated aromatic systems. 2-5 Polynitroaromatic analogues of 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT, 1) and polyaminopolynitroaromatic compounds are expected to show improved propertiesof density, power, sensitivity and stability, but few of these species have been synthesized. This study deals, then, with the synthesis and reactions of the isomeric 2-amino-3, 4, 5, 6-, 3-amino-2, 4, 5, 6-, and 4-amino-2, 3, 5, 6-tetranitrotoluenes (2, 3, and 4) and their oxidation to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentanitrotoluene (5). We also discuss theapparent ipso nitration of 4 to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentanitroaniline (6) from which hexanitrobenzene (7) and 1, 3, 5-triamino-2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzene (TATB, 8) may be prepared.
