A brief outline of Nitro dimethyl terphthalate

Nitro dimethyl terphthalate is the result of an extensive investigation and chemical testings which have been done by researchers and are of utmost importance to manufacturing industrial domain. The manufacturing companies endeavor towards sustaining superior quality standards which comply with the International norms and standards. Substantial research of this existing chemical product is also in continuity to facilitate the clients with more desired specifications which will assist them in the manufacturing of other products utilizing this. With new ways of chemical processes and chain reactions assorted types of products can be produced. This chemical product is extensively exploited in the pharmaceutical industries where the chemical is used as pharmaceutical intermediates as well as drug intermediates.

With different types of research in different countries the chemical name of Nitro dimethyl terphthalate are also used as Dimethyl nitroterephthalate, Nitroterephthalatedimethylester, Dimethyl 2-nitroterephthalate, Dimethyl 2-nitrobenzene-1, 4-dicarboxylate, 5292-45-5, Terephthalic acid, NDMT and Nitro Dimethyl ester.  With the necessary proportion of the various chemicals the product prepared and manufactured are off white and yellow crystalline in nature. The purity of the product is maintained on a higher level or have been appreciated on the commercial front of the global market for their fine quality.

The Salient properties:
  •     Molecular Formula: C10H9NO6
  •     Molecular weight: 239.18
  •     Melting point: 73 to 76 degree Celsius (lit)
  •     Density: 1.272
  •     Purity by HPLC: 98.5 Min
  •     DMT: 0.5% max
Nitro dimethyl terphthalate is an insoluble product. The manufacturing process involves the ammonolysis of dialkyl nitroterephthalates which is required during the process. The Ammonolysis in combination with hydrolysis is used in the preparation of the product which is processed in a stirred vessel under pressure. Purification and filtration are carried out after the extraction of the mixed compounds to attain the desired product. Stringent administration and observations are done by the manufacturers to avoid any flaw in the quality. Once the product is manufactured it is made to pass through the laboratories and the quality control departments to ensure highest quality of the chemical. The chemical industry has been on the precautionary side when it comes to packaging and storage. Proper packaging is a must to maintain Nitro dimethyl terphthalate at conditions specified by the Laboratory departments.
