The second compound in the synthetic pathway is 1,3,5 trinitrobenzene. It is NOT a "nitrate," that would be an alcohol ester of nitric acid with the functional group -NO3; (example PETN). Perhaps this is a common trade name like nitrogylcerin; (which is a nitrate ester)? Also the rainey nickel/hydrogen reductant used in the nitro to the amine reaction is not an explosive. It is just a very (spontaneously) flammable mix. Paul S.
