Abstract

Evidence has been obtained to show that the dissolution of tetryl in sulphuric acid in the cold results in reversible hydrolysis, the tetryl remaining in equilibrium with the products of reaction, amongst which methyl picramide is one. The reaction has been made to proceed in either direction by adjusting the concentration of nitric acid. Methyl picramide has been isolated and its properties studied.
