MOLECULAR SUBSTITUTION STUDIES.

Abstract

It is postulated that changing the chemical environment of unstable NF moieties may yield new energetic materials having desirable properties. Known high-energy species are being used for the synthesis of NF compounds. Metallic mercury reacts with FN(Cl)CO2R (where R = ethyl or isopropyl) to form mercurials, which analyze well for Hg(NFCO2R)2. The starting material, FN(Cl)CO2Et, is regenerated on treating the corresponding mercurial with elemental chlorine. Elemental iodine appears to give i-PrO2CNFNFCO2i-Pr rather than FN(I)CO2i-Pr. The new coupling product is being further investigated as a precursor to N3F5 and/or N4F6. (Author)
