Prepare a solution of 0.227 g of TNT and 5.10 mmol of 1,1,1-triethylhydrazinium chloride in 10 mL of DMSO. Add 0.600 g of sodium methoxide in one portion with stirring. Continue stirring the mixture for 23 hours. Pour the mixture in a beaker containing 200 mL of 0.12N hydrochloric acid and stir for 20 minutes. Filter to collect the precipitate, wash it with water, and allow to dry. Final yield of DATNT is a little over 0.2 g or 82%.
