Question

Nitration of which among the following compounds yields cyclonite ? (A) Formaldehyde (B) Benzaldehyde (C) Urotropine (D) Acetaldehyde ammonia

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Nitration of urotropine yields cyclonite- a high explosive. Urotropine ( CH 2)6 N 4 is obtained from the reaction of formaldehyde with excess ammonia. 6 HCHO +4 NH 3 arrow( CH 2)6 N 4+6 H 2 O
