Abstract
The stability of tetryl (N-methyl-N,2,4,6-tetranitroaniline) to Soxhlet extraction with methanol was examined by refluxing tetryl in methanol and extracting a tetryl-contaminated soil using Soxhlet, ultrasonic bath and wrist-action shaker methods. The results indicate that tetryl is unstable to Soxhlet extraction. If wet soils are Soxhlet-extracted with methanol, tetryl hydrolyses to N-methylpieramide (N-methyl-2,4,6-trinitroaniline). If extracted dry, methanolysis products are formed. Ultrasonic bath extraction with acetonitrile is recommended instead.
