Foxdick Farms (nprofile…hslc) Nitric acid on hexamine (cold, ice bath) gives hexamethylenetetramine dinitrate first. Push the nitration further and you end up at RDX (cyclonite / hexogen) — the classic Hale process.
So: cool it, nitrate it, get your energetic prize. Boom. ^_^
Careful with that ice bath — the reaction loves to run away on you. :3
