Abstract

Synthetic routes to the aminodinitrotoluenes have been investigated and several useful new methods developed. A procedure for selective hydrolysis of polynitro N-acyltoluidines permits facile separation of the nitration isomer mixtures. Products formed by reaction of ammonia with isomeric trinitrotoluenes, as well as those from reduction of 2, 4, 6- trinitrotoluene with hydrogen sulfide, have been separated and identified.
