Abstract:4, 6-Dinitro-7-hydroxybenzofuroxan sodium salt(NaDNP)was synthesized via nitration, substitution and annulation using 3-bromoanisole, etc. as materials in yield of 45.6%. Its purity, morphology and structure were confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography, Na elemental analysis, video microscope, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR spectra. Its thermal behavior was studied by DSC and 5 s delay time deflagration point. Its sensitivity properties was studied by impact, flame, hot wire and electrostatic spark sensitivity. Results show that the thermal decomposition peak temperature of NaDNP at a heating rate of 20 ℃·min-1 is 283.11 ℃ and 5 s delay time deflagration point is 300.3 ℃, revealing that NaDNP has good heat resistance. Its impact sensitivity H50 is 37.4 cm, flame sensitivity H50 18.5 cm, hot wire sensitivity E50 1.278 mJ, electrostatic spark sensitivity E50 4.3 mJ, which is more insensitive than lead 2, 4, 6-trinitroresorcinate (LTNR). NaDNP can be used as an intermediate of primary explosive.
