synthesized with 70% nitric acid. Personally, I thought that the mixture would boil, emit a lot of NOx, which would need to be diverted somewhere.
But if this mixture is really explosive, then maybe it's worth trying to carry out the reaction in a Teflon cup? In the event of an explosion, at
least plastic fragments will be
Acetic acid is also a good solvent, and does not react with nitric acid

The reaction will still require a large excess of nitric acid. Acetic acid will likely work to form mono, di and potentially some trinitrophenol as it
will cause the formation of the nitronium ion. |
