Acetone Peroxide:: Synthesis Written in Red Means It Is Highly Advised NOT To Make This. For Informational Use Only

This document provides procedures for synthesizing several explosive and hazardous chemicals, including acetone peroxide, HMTD, nitrogen trichloride, nitrogen triiodide, nitroglycerin, PETN. Most of these chemicals listed are described as having very high sensitivity and should not be made, as synthesis could lead to detonation. Procedures are provided for informational purposes only.

SYNTHESIS

Synthesis Written In Red Means It Is Highly Advised NOT To Make This. For Informational
Use Only.
Synthesis Written In Orange Means It Is Unsafe to Make But Not Extremely Dangerous.
Unadvised To Make Or Store.
Synthesis Written In White Means It Is Relatively Safe To Make And Store But Still Unadvised.

ACETONE PEROXIDE:

Chemicals:

-Acetone
-Ethyl Ether
-30% Hydrogen Peroxide
-75% Sulphuric Acid
-Distilled Water

Procedure:

Place a 500Ml beaker in an ice bath and add 50 mL acetone and 30 mL H2O2. Cool to 5*C.
Then slowly add 3mL of H2SO4. Stir for 5 minutes after you finish adding the H2SO4. Let the
mixture sit in the ice bath for 1-5 hours. Filter the white precipitate out and wash the crystals
with water. Dissolve in Ethyl Ether and wash by shaking with 3 portions of water. Evaporate the
ethyl ether and let dry. Keep in cool, dark, place. The freezer is ideal for storage.

Sensitivity: VERY High


Boiling Point: Explodes Before That Point
Melting Point: 91*C
Explosive Velocity: 5'300m/sec.
Chemical Formula: C9H18O6

HMTD (hexamethylenetriperoxidediamine):
Chemicals:

-6% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)


-Methyl/Ethyl Alcohol
-Hexamine
-Citric Acid

Procedure:

Place a large beaker in an ice bath and dissolve 2 1/2 tsp. hexamine in 9 tsp. of Hydrogen
Peroxide. Let sit for 30-40 minutes. slowly add 4 1/2 tsp. of powdered citric acid. Stir for 30
minutes and let sit for 24 hours. Filter the crystals that will have formed. Wash with water, and
then with methyl/ethyl alcohol. Store MOIST.

Sensitivity: VERY High


Boiling Point: ?
Melting Point: Decompose at 75*C
Explosive Velocity: 4511m/s
Chemical Formula: N(CH2-O-O-CH2)3N

NITROGEN TRICHLORIDE

Chemicals:

-Ammonium Nitrate (NH4NO3)


-Chlorine (Cl)
-Water (H20(HOH))

Procedure:

In a 200mL flask, take 30g Ammonium Nitrate and add it to 70mL of Water. Use a Chlorine
bubbler and bubble the chlorine gas through the Ammonium Nitrate/Water solution. Gently heat
the flask while bubbling the gas through. Stop heating when a yellowy oil apperas at the bottom
of the flask. That is your Nitrogen Trichloride. The reaction shuold finish in about 30 minutes.
Use a syringe to extract the nitrogen tiochloride from the flask.

Sensitivity: VERY High


Boiling Point: 71*C
Melting Point: -27*C
Explosive Velocity: ?
Chemical Formula: NCl3

NITROGEN TRIIODIDE

Chemicals

-Ammonium Hydroxide (NH4OH)


-Iodine (I)

Procedure

Take a disposable cup (or 50mL beaker, may permanently stain so use the cup), and add 2 grams
of Iodine crystals. Crush them as finely as possible. Continue by adding 40mL of Ammonium
Hydroxide. Let the solution sit for 2 hours, then filter out the crystals.

USE IMMEDITAELY

**Can be set off with the touch of a feather!

Sensitivity: VERY High


Boiling Point: ?
Melting Point: ?
Explosive Velocity: ?
Chemical Formula: NI3

NITROGLYCERIN

Chemicals:
-Chloroform (CHCl3)
-Glycerol (C3H8O3)
-Nitric Acid (HNO3)
-Sodium Carbonate (NaCO3)
-Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
-Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4)
-Water (H20(HOH))

Procedure:

Mix, in a 1000mL beaker, 200mL 98-100% Nitric Acid, and 300mL 98-100% Sulphuric Acid.
Put in an ice bath and cool to <10*C. In a new ice bath, add 115mL glycerol crop by drop. Make
sure that glycerol had been chilled to 15*C previously. Allow the acid and glycerol to cool to
15*C and sit for 15 minutes. Dump this into an equal volume of water. Pour this into a
seperatory funnel. The nitroglycerin will have formed a layer on the bottom of the funnel. Drain
this off and put into a clean seperatory funnel, add lots of 38-40*C water, mix and serperate
again. Wash with 4% Sodium Carbonate solution and separate. Wash with water 3 more times,
then a final wash with Sodium Chloride. Let the Sodium Chloride/Nitroglycerin solution sit for
24hrs before separating. Check the acidity level with litmus paper. If it is still even slightly
acidic, wash it until it is neutral. Dry the Nitroglycerin in a disiccator over Sulphuric Acid. May
take a few days.

**Store Cool. Refrigerator would be the best place.


**can be destroyed by boiling with sodium or potassium and ethyl alcohol.

Sensitivity: VERY High


Boiling Point: Decompose at 50-60*C
Melting Point: 13.5*C
Explosive Velocity: 7700m/s
Chemical Formula: C3H5N3O9

PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate)

Chemicals:
-Acetone (CH3COCH3)
-Nitric Acid (HNO3)
-Pentaerythritol (C5H12O4)
-Sodium Carbonate (NaCO3)
-Water (H20(HOH))

Procedure:

Add 400mL of White Nitric Acid to a 600mL beaker and cool to below 5*C in an ice bath.
Slowly add 100g, finely powdered, pentaerythritol to the beaker while strring. Continue stirring
for 15 minutes afterwards, then dump into 3L of ice water. Filter the product that should have
formed and soak in 1L of hot Sodium Carbonate for 1 hour. Filter the crystals out of the Sodium
Carbonate, and dissolve in hot acetone. Filter the crystals and let dry for at least 24 hours.
Sensitivity: Medium
Melting Point: 141*C
Boiling Point: Ignite at 210*C
Explosive Velocity: 8300M/s
Chemical Formula: C5H8N4O12 of Mg ribbon should do it though.
