RESEARCH IN NITROMONOMERS AND THEIR APPLICATION TO SOLID SMOKELESS PROPELLANTS.

Abstract

The reactions of diborane with aliphatic aldoximes and ketoximes lead to intermediates which on basic or acidic hydrolysis afford exclusively the corresponding Nmonosubstituted hydroxylamines in yields of 50-90%. The intermediates from the reaction of diborane with alpha-aryl aldoximes and ketoximes give only on acid hydrolysis the desired hydroxylamines. Primary and secondary nitroalkanes which are unaffected by diborane interact readily in the form of their salts with this reagent. The reaction leads to intermediates which on basic or acid hydrolysis afford N-monosubstituted hydroxylamines in yields of 30-60%. The scope of the alkyl nitrate nitration was successfully extended to heterocyclic systems such as piperidones and pyrrolidones.
