A new synthesis of alkyl-N,N-dinitramines by direct nitration of isocyanates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919108019779

A facile conversion of aliphatic isocyanates to N,N-dinitramines has been developed. An aliphatic isocyanate is treated with a mixture of nitronium fluoroborate and nitric acid in acetonitrile giving fair yields and simplifying the existing synthesis.
