Tris(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Off-white to orange solid. It crystallizes as white crystals in the mixed solution of ethyl acetate and benzene. Soluble in alcohol, slightly soluble in benzene and other hydrocarbons. Solubility in water (20°C) 220g/100ml.

Uses

Tris(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane, is used as an important raw material and intermediate used in organic Synthesis, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and dyestuff. It is used as a primary and secondary intermediate.

Preparation

Tris(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane is prepared by the condensation of nitromethane and formaldehyde under basic conditions.

Application

Tris(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane is a bactericide and slimicide for use in cooling fluids, paper and pulp industry; as a curing agent for certain adhesives; viscositycontrolling agent in cosmetics.To inhibit bacterial growth in circulating industrial water systems, cutting oils, nonprotein glues and sizings.

General Description

Tris(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane undergoes crosslinking with hexamethylene diisocyanate to form monolithic energetic gels. It is an effective hardener for variety of tannin-based adhesives.

Hazard

Moderate fire risk. Irritant to skin and eyes.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from CHCl3/ethyl acetate or ethyl acetate/*benzene. It is an acid and a 0.1M solution in H2O has pH 4.5. IRRITANT. [Beilstein 1 H 520.]
