Nitration of which among the following compounds yields cyclonite?

AFormaldehyde
BBenzaldehyde
CUrotropine
Correct Answer
DAcetaldehyde-ammonia

Solution

Nitration of urotropine yields cyclonite- a high explosive.

Urotropine $$\displaystyle (CH_2)_6N_4$$ is obtained from the reaction of formaldehyde with excess ammonia.

$$\displaystyle 6HCHO + 4NH_3 \rightarrow (CH_2)_6N_4 +6H_2O$$
