The Development of New Protecting/Leaving Groups and Application to the Synthesis of Cage Nitramines

Abstract

In the course of this study, we have accomplished the synthesis of a new, stable class of dinitramide salts that will have both fundamental scientific interest and practical applications. We have also developed a new type of condensation reaction for the synthesis of cage compounds and prepared new clathrates of CL-20 with significantly more energy than pure CL-20. The dinitramide salts are based on a newly discovered inorganic anion known as the dinitramide anion, N(NO2)(-) sub 2. The dinitramide anion is a uniquely stable, high oxygen density grouping that can be prepared in many different combinations, including the ammonium salts.
