Preparation and hazard evaluation of 1-O-methyl-β-d-glucopyranoside-2,3,4,6-tetranitrate(1) was performed in order to clarify the mechanism of spontaneous ignition of cellulose nitrate. The white crystal was obtained by reaction between １-O-methyl-β-d-glucoside and fuming nitric acid in chloroform. The white crystal was identified as 1 using elemental analysis, FT-IR spectrum, and melting-point by SC-DSC. Additionally, hazard evaluation was performed by friction test, drop hammer test, and electrostatic sensitivity test. It was confirmed that the sensitivities of 1 was not too high to treat as model compound for cellulose nitrate.
ニトロセルロース(NC)の自然発火機構を解析することを目的としてNCのモノマーユニットである1-0-methyl-β-d-glucopyranoside-2,3,4,6-tetranitrate(1)を調製し, 種々の感度拭験による危険性評価を行った｡クロロホルム中, 1-0-methyl-β-d-glucosideと発煙硝酸との反応から1を調製し, 元素分析, FT-IRスペクトル, SC-DSCによる融点測定により, 1の生成を確認した｡ また, 1の摩擦, 落つい及び静電気感度は比較的鈍感で, モデル化合物として取り扱いが容易であることが確認された。
