This invention discloses a 5-fluoro-3-methyl-2,4-
dinitroaniline compound, its preparation method, and its applications, belonging to the field of compound preparation technology. The compound is prepared by the following method: 1,3-difluoro-5-
toluene is reacted at a high temperature of 100–160°C using fuming
sulfuric acid and
sodium nitrate as nitrating agents for 6–8 hours. After cooling, the mixture is precipitated with
ice water at
room temperature, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain 1,5-difluoro-3-methyl-2,4-
dinitrobenzene. The 1,5-difluoro-3-methyl-2,4-
dinitrobenzene is dissolved in
tetrahydrofuran, and then slowly added dropwise with an aqueous
ammonia solution, followed by natural
evaporation to obtain 5-fluoro-3-methyl-2,4-
dinitroaniline (DFDNTN). The 5-fluoro-3-methyl-2,4-
dinitroaniline obtained by this invention has a
melting point (127.5℃) that is higher than the ideal
melting point range, but it can be used as a
single component in eutectic compounds. It has a relatively high
decomposition temperature of 295℃, an
impact sensitivity of 35J, and a
friction sensitivity of not less than 360N. The
detonation velocity is 7210 m / s. ‑1 Its explosive pressure is 21.14 GPa, which is better than that of TNT. It is expected to become a cast-carrier explosive that can replace TNT.
