Synthesis of High Density Insensitive Energetic Tetraazapentalene Derivatives
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
An improved nitration procedure has been developed for the synthesis of y-Tacot (3). The synthesis of y-DBBD (8) has been completed in three steps from 3 in 37% yield. y-DBBD (8) was found to be thermally stable up to 274 °C (decomposed) and insensitive to impact (hammer blow). Nitration of z-BDDB (6) and y-DBBD (8) gave carbonyl derivatives resulting from in situ hydroysis/oxidation of the corresponding tetranitro derivatives z-TBBD (7) and y-TBBD (9), respectively.
