New Synthetic Approaches to TAT

Abstract

This Final Technical Report describes some additional approaches to 1,3,5,7-tetraacetyl-octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine, 'TAT', related to the former Contract DAJA 45-85-C-0016; R&D 4480-CH-01. The development of alternative and simple TAT syntheses starting from easily accessible educts still belongs to the very basic and substantial requirements in the area of TAT and HMX research, carried out by the Synthesis Section of ARDC, Picatinny Arsenal, Dover, NJ, USA. In executing this project, the following pathways and approaches have been further pursued and checked experimentally: Cyclization experiments of methylene-bisacetamide 'MBA' with formaldehyde; Ring synthetic approaches to TAT, via urea; and Additional experiments on the tetramerization of phenyl- methyleneimines ('Roumanian Approach'). Keywords: Synthetic approaches, 1,3,5,7- Tetrazocanes, Octahydro-1,3,5,7,-tetrazocines, TAT, Methylene-bisacetamide, MBA, Carbonyl-bisurea, Triuret, 4-Subst. phenyl-methyleneimines, Tetrazocane-Co2(+) complexes, Glycolurils, Propellane-glycoluril, Partial degradation, Bispyrazolo- tetrazocanes, Bisimidazo-tetrazocane, Hydrogenolytic degradation, Macrocyclic ligand with glycoluril and tetrazocane units (Cucurbiturils), Internal/external stabilization of TAT, Structure and reactivity, Synthetic requirements, Organic compounds.
