Abstract:To avoid the influence of Cl- in 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobeneze(TATB), the synthetic technology improvement of TATB without Cl- was studied starting from phoroglucinol (PG), which were three steps including nitration, alkylation and amination. The affecting factors such as reactant reagent, mole ratio of material, temperature and concentration of reaction were studied. The yield of each step reaction reaches up to 91%. The structures of TATB and its intermediates were identified by 1H NMR,13C NMR, and mass spectra. There are two special aspects in the improved technology: one is the new nitration agents NH4NO3/H2SO4, and other is usage of ethanol as the reaction solvent. The optimized nitration conditions are :molar ratio of PG to NH4NO3 13.3, reaction concentration 0.356 mol·L-1, temperature below 10 ℃.
