Improved Synthesis of 7-Amino-4,6-Dinitrobenzofuroxan (ADNBF).
Abstract
An improved synthesis of insensitive, high-density, high-explosive, 7-amino-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan (ADNBF) is reported. Treatment of 2,3,4,6-tetranitroaniline with sodium azide in acetic acid leads to an isolated 96% yield of high-purity ADNBF. 2,3,4,6-Tetranitroaniline is readily prepared from inexpensive m-nitroaniline by direct nitration.
