OH
phloroglucinol
1.
Elevated oxygen content.
2.
Requires a single enzyme for
biosynthesis from malonyl-CoA.
3.
Low toxicity: LD50 = 4,000 mg/kg
4.
Unique electrophilic and nucleophilic reactivity.

TATB
1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene
TATB is used in fuze and booster systems.
Advantages of TATB:
• thermally-stable, impact-insensitive energetic material
• possesses a greater density and detonation velocity relative to 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT)
• reduced shock sensitivity and increased thermal stability relative to hexahydro-1,3,5trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX).
Phloroglucinol is the starting material for TATB manufacture.
Market opportunity:
• Phloroglucinol is manufactured in China, India, and Pakistan but not in the U.S.
• U.S. Department of Defense is seeking a domestic source.

for Research on Cancer)
Companies exposed to regulation / litigation
• Danger to employees who handle phenol-formaldehyde
• Danger to consumers from formaldehyde “off-gassing”
Specter of asbestos litigation
•
Bankruptcy (e.g., Owens Corning)
Demand for formaldehyde-free alternatives
•
•
•
Johns Mansville (fiber-glass insulation): now using acrylic replacement
Hexion: introduced “Ecobind adhesive resin with “low emissions” of formaldehyde

Synthesis of Aromatics from Renewables
Generic Approach:
Two-step syntheses: microbial catalysis followed by chemical catalysis.
The first step’s product is less toxic to microbes than the second step’s product.
The first step’s product is higher value-added relative to the second step’s product.
