In this novel nitration method dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) in an inert solvent is used as the nitrating agent, thereby removing the need for strong acids as the reaction medium. The N2O5 cleaves heteroatom-silicon bonds, in silylamines and silyl ethers respectively, to yield the desired energetic groupings (nitramines or nitrate esters respectively) without liberation of acids which would occur with conventional substrates (amines or alcohols). These nitrodesilylation reactions proceed cleanly and in good yield, and the scope of the reaction is illustrated by 29 examples, some of which produce high energy compounds, notably plasticisers and an energetic polymer precursor. These reactions are therefore potentially clean nitrations for the manufacture of energetic compounds which will minimise the impact of this activity on the environment in the future.
N-NITROHYDRAZINES AND THEIR SALTS

A method was developed for the synthesis of functionally substituted N-nitrohydrazines by nonacid nitration of the respective silylhydrazines.It was shown that the stability of these compounds increases with increase in the number of electronegative substituents.The first representative of N,N'-dinitrohydrazines, i.e., N,N'-dinitro-N,N'-diacetylhydrazine, was synthesized.Some of the obtained N-nitrohydrazines are characterized by dissociation with the formation of diazenes.The action of nucleophilic reagents on functionally N,N'-disubstituted N-methyl-N'-nitrohydrazines gave the salts of N-nitrohydrazines.
