Polynitro Polycyclic Cage Compounds

Abstract

The objective of this project is to synthesize advanced propellant ingredients of the propulsion system. This task is divided into two categories: Synthesis of new strained molecules; Study of thermochemical properties of new strained molecules. This report covers the efforts towards synthesis of new pentanitrobis-homocubane and its isomer. During the course of this synthetic endeavor a novel base-promoted eliminative cyclization was observed which lead to the synthesis of two new functionalized strained ring systems: Tetracyclo6.2. 1.02,7.04,10-undecane and Tetracyclo5.3.0.02,6.05,9 decane.
