Abstract:
Fine-crystalline cast charges with an unoriented crystal structure of TNT or explosive charges containing TNT are obtained by adding 2,2'',4,4'', 6, 6''-hexanitrostilbene to the melt from which the cast charge is made.
Abstract:
3-ACETAMIDO-5-AMINOBENZOIC ACID IS A VALUABLE INTERMEDIATE FOR THE PREPARATION OF DRUGS ESPECIALLY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF IODINE COMPOUNDS WHICH ARE USED AS X-ray contrast agents. According to the present invention it is prepared by acetylating of 3,5diaminobenzoic acid in an aqueous solution in the presence of a mineral acid. The 3-acetamido-5-aminobenzoic acid is then obtained in the form of its salt of the mineral acid from which salt the desired free acid may be recovered by adding a base. The free acid is obtained in high yields and of high purity.

1,207,384. Nitration of aromatic compounds. BOFORS A.B. 20 Oct., 1967 [20 Oct., 1966], No. 47947/67. Heading C2C. Mono-alkyl substituted nitro compounds are nitrated with nitric acid in the presence of phosphoric acid, the amount and concentration of which is such that at the conclusion of the nitration the P 2 O 5 content in the spent acid does not exceed 82% by weight, preferably 76% by weight. In the examples (a) toluene is nitrated to give mainly o-and p-nitrotoluene with small amounts of m-nitrotoluene; (b) ethyl benzene is nitrated to give mainly o- and p-nitroethylbenzene; (c) isopropyl benzene is nitrated to o- and p-nitro isopropylbenzene; (d) o-nitrotoluene is nitrated to give 2,4- and 2,6-dinitrotoluene; and (e) m-nitrotoluene was nitrated to give 3,4-, 2,3- and 2,5-dinitrotoluene.

1,208,502. Production of nitro-substituted benzene compounds. BOFORS A.B. 13 June, 1968 [15 June, 1967], No. 28262/68. Heading C2C. A compound of formula wherein each of the substituents X 1 to X 5 is either a hydrogen atom or a nitro group is prepared by heating a benzene compound having a carboxyl group or an alkyl group convertible to a carboxyl group in the position of the nitro group shown in the structural formula and optionally containing one or more nitro groups, with nitric acid under pressure. The examples describe the preparation of o-, m- and p-dinitrobenzenes and nitrobenzene.
