CAS 1607-17-6

Pentaerythritol, trinitrate

Description:

Pentaerythritol trinitrate (PETN) is a highly explosive organic compound classified as a nitrate ester. It is derived from pentaerythritol, which is a tetraol, and is known for its high stability and insensitivity to shock compared to other explosives. PETN appears as a white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure features three nitrate groups attached to a pentaerythritol backbone, contributing to its explosive properties. PETN is often used in military applications, as well as in medical formulations for treating angina due to its vasodilating effects. The compound is sensitive to heat and friction, necessitating careful handling and storage. In terms of performance, PETN has a high detonation velocity and is often used as a booster in conjunction with other explosives. Its CAS number is 1607-17-6, which uniquely identifies it in chemical databases. Overall, PETN is notable for its dual role in both explosive technology and medicinal chemistry.
