Styphnic acid (2,4,6-trinitroresorcinol)
Styphnic acid, also called 2,4,6-trinitroresorcinol, is a yellow crystalline primary explosive similar to picric acid. Other names for the compound include 2,4,6-trinitro-1,3-benzenediol; 2,4-dihydroxy-1,3,5-trinitrobenzene; resorcinic acid; trinitroresorcin; trinitroresorzin; oxypicric acid; styphninsaure; TNR; and StA. Industrially it is used as an explosive and as a dye. It first listed preparation was published by Mertz and Zetter in 1879. Styphnic acid forms many explosive salts, the preparation of which are included here. The higher cost of styphnic acid vs. picric acid means it is less often used. The lead salt is the most commercially utilized form. Styphnic acid and its salts are most often used in detonators either alone or in mixtures.
