  2. Ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate

    These prills or granules are the typical AN products in commerce. Another production method is a variant of the nitrophosphate process: Ca(NO 3) 2 + 2 NH 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O → 2 NH 4 NO 3 + CaCO 3. The products, calcium carbonate and ammonium nitrate, may be separately purified or sold combined as calcium ammonium nitrate.

    Ammonium nitrate decomposes in temperatures above 169 °C (336 °F). Pure AN is stable and will stop decomposing once the heat source is removed, but when catalysts are present, the reaction can become self-sustaining (known as self-sustaining decomposition, or SSD).

  5. Nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate

    In the NO − 3 anion, the oxidation state of the central nitrogen atom is V (+5). This corresponds to the highest possible oxidation number of nitrogen. Nitrate is a potentially powerful oxidizer as evidenced by its explosive behaviour at high temperature when it is detonated in ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3), or black powder, ignited by the shock wave of a primary explosive.

  6. Fluorination with aminosulfuranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorination_with_amino...

    Fluorination with aminosulfuranes is a chemical reaction that transforms oxidized organic compounds into organofluorine compounds.Aminosulfuranes selectively exchange hydroxyl groups for fluorine, but are also capable of converting carbonyl groups, halides, silyl ethers, and other functionality into organofluorides.

  7. Nitro compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    Explosive decomposition of organo nitro compounds are redox reactions, wherein both the oxidant (nitro group) and the fuel (hydrocarbon substituent) are bound within the same molecule. The explosion process generates heat by forming highly stable products including molecular nitrogen (N 2), carbon dioxide, and water. The explosive power of this ...

  8. Leuckart reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leuckart_reaction

    The Leuckart reaction is the chemical reaction that converts aldehydes or ketones to amines. The reaction is an example of reductive amination. [1] The reaction, named after Rudolf Leuckart, uses either ammonium formate or formamide as the nitrogen donor and reducing agent. It requires high temperatures, usually between 120 and 130 °C; for the ...

  9. Sodium amide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_amide

    Sodium amide, commonly called sodamide (systematic name sodium azanide), is the inorganic compound with the formula NaNH 2. It is a salt composed of the sodium cation and the azanide anion. This solid, which is dangerously reactive toward water, is white, but commercial samples are typically gray due to the presence of small quantities of ...
