New Nitration Concepts
Abstract
The objective of the current study was to explore the reaction of nitroacetylenes and to synthesize trinitroethyl and fluorodinitroethyl derivatives of heteroaryl aromatics. Below we summarize the results of these research areas: (1) Reactions of Nitroacetylenes. We have successfully prepared the two new cycloadducts from the reaction of a nitroacetylene with diazomethane and trimethylsilylazide: 4-nitro-5-(trimethylsilyl)triazole and 3-nitro-4- (trimethylsilyl) pyrazole. (2) Synthesis of Polynitroheteroaromatic Explosives. We have synthesized a new class of polynitroheteroaromatic explosives designed to meet Air Force mission requirements. These include N,N'-bis(trinitroethyl)-1, 4-diaminotetrazene, N,N'-bis(fluorodinitroethyl)-1,4-diaminotetrazene as well as the fluorodinitro and trinitroethyl esters of 2,3-pyrazine-dicarboxylic acid, 3- 4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, and 3,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid.
