Dense Compounds of C, H, N, and O Atoms. 2. Nitramine and Nitrosamine Derivatives of 2-Oxo- and 2-Iminooctahydroimidazo(4,5-d)Imidazole

Abstract

The 4,6-dinitroso derivative was obtained (83%) by the nitrosation of 2-oxooctahydroimidazo imidazole as the dihydrochloride and was converted to the 4,6-dinitro derivative (66%) by treatment with nitric acid (100%, -40 C) and to the 1,4,6-trinitro derivative (66%) and the 1,3,4,6-tetranitro derivative (86%) by treatment with nitric acid (100%) in acetic anhydride at 0-5 C and 10-25 C respectively. Similar treatment with nitric acid (100%) in either acetic or trifluoroacetic anhydride at 0-25 C converted the trinitro compound to the tetranitro compound (86%). The dinitramine was also obtained (43%) from the diamine by nitration with nitric acid (100%, -40 C).
