1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene

| NFPA-F = 3 | NFPA-H = 2 | NFPA-R = 4 | NFPA-S =

1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene is one of three isomers of trinitrobenzene with the formula C6H3(NO2)3. A pale yellow solid, the compound is highly explosive.

Synthesis and reactions

1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene is produced by decarboxylation of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid.

1,3,5-Trinitrobenzene forms charge-transfer complexes with electron-rich arenes.

Reduction of 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene gives 1,3,5-triaminobenzene, a precursor to phloroglucinol.

Uses and applications

Trinitrobenzene is more explosive than TNT, but more expensive.
