2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (CAS 3964-18-9)
QUICK LINKS
2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMNB) is an additive required for commercial plastic explosives. The product has been used to develop a fast, square-wave voltammetric measurement protocol of taggant (2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane explosive) at an unmodified carbon fiber electrode. 2,3-Dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane is a nitroalkane compound, which means that it contains a nitro group. This nitro group is capable of undergoing a variety of reactions, depending on the conditions. In the presence of an acid, the nitro group can be protonated, forming a nitronium ion. This nitronium ion can then undergo a variety of reactions, depending on the conditions. For example, in the presence of an alkene, the nitronium ion can undergo a Diels-Alder reaction, forming a new compound. In the presence of an amine, the nitronium ion can undergo a Mannich reaction, forming a new compound.
