Hey! Somebody know, how can I make subj with acetone?(isophorine isn’t an explosive, but I want to try to make trinitromethane with it )

P.S. sorry for my bad english

WHAT?????!!!???!?!?!?!?!?!?

however, if you wanna make trinitromethane you have to let acetylene flow through nitric acid.

i’m sorry, i don’t know what isophorine is. any chance you mean isophorone?

Upps! I mean ISOPHORONE ! (see the title)

i tried to read some sense into the reaction but i think you’re facing a hard time when trying to get trinitromethane from isophorone…

for isophorone looks somehow like this:

CH3 H
/
C====C
/
H-C-H C=O
/
C—–C-H
/ |
CH3 CH3 H

and trinitromethane is this:

NO2
|
H-C-NO2
|
NO2

so you’d have to create whole new structures.

but i may be wrong. what do the others say ?
