【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this research is to produce derivatives of simple phenols as "raw material" for the synthesis of new phenolic explosives. A big number of valuable products is synthesized from phenol and its homologues including well-known explosives - picric acid, methyl picrate, cresolite, etc. In general, a structural modification of well-known explosives' molecules is the most important among the methods for the synthesis of new explosives. This method can be used in certain modifications. For example, the synthesis of methyl picrate is possible not only to replace picric acid's hydroxyl with metoxyl, but with nitration of anisole as well, i. e, by the reciprocating synthesis. Thus, to produce the new analogues of well-known phenolic explosives, the preliminary modification of simple phenols' molecules and further nitration, presumably by a formation of dinitro derivatives may be performed. The alkylation of phenol, anisole and m - cresol by the secondary phenyl acetylene alcohols in the presence of concentrated phosphoric acid was carried out. Para-substituted alkynyl phenols with high yields were developed. The chemical transformations were carried out by a participation of their molecules' active centres. The corresponding ethers, esters and saturated isologues have been synthesized. The article describes the conditions of a synthesis of 14 new phenyl acetylenes' substances that may be used as substrates in a nitration reaction.
