Relevant academic research and scientific papers

Super-high-energy materials based on bis(2,2-dinitroethyl)nitramine

Novel super-highly energetic bis(2,2-dinitroethyl)nitramine-based salts exhibiting excellent physical and detonation properties, such as low solubility in common solvents, moderate thermal stabilities, high densities, high detonation pressures and detonation velocities, were synthesized and fully characterized. The densities of the energetic salts range between 1.77 and 2.02 g cm-3 as measured using a gas pycnometer. The detonation pressures and velocities as calculated by the EXPLO5 code are in the range 31.5-46.2 GPa and 8586-10004 m s-1, which make them competitive super-highly energetic materials.

1,1,4,4-TETRANITROBUTANE-2,3-DIOL AND ITS DERIVATIVES. 5. REACTION OF 1,1,4,4-TETRANITROBUTANE-2,3-DIOL WITH FORMALDEHYDE; SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF 4,4-DINITRO-2,3-DIHYDROXYTETRAHYDROFURAN

1,1,4,4-Tetranitrobutane-2,3-diol reacts with formaldehyde, forming 2,2-dinitropropane-1,3-diol or a cyclic ether - 4,4-dinitro-2,3-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran - as a function of the reaction conditions.

Henry and Mannich reactions of polynitroalkanes in ionic liquids

Based on Henry and Mannich reactions of polynitroalkanes for the first time implemented in ionic liquids, ecologically pure and safe methods for the synthesis of polynitro alcohols and N-2,2,2-trinitroethyl derivatives of low basic amino compounds (urea, acetamide, 4-amino-3-methylfuroxan) have been elaborated.

Chloride-assisted nitrolysis of cyclic tertiary amines

The synthesis of nitramines from tertiary amine heterocycles via a chloride-assisted nitrolysis is presented. The process is effective for heterocyclic systems containing a single tertiary amine moiety and gives good to excellent yields for primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl leaving groups. Heterocyclic systems containing two tertiary amines are best nitrated via a tert-butyl leaving group, with other alkyl moieties leading to ring-opened species upon treatment with nitrating media both in the presence and absence of chloride ions.

Catalyzed Oxidative Nitration of Nitronate Salts

Nitronate salts are converted to gem-dinitro compounds with nitrite ion and persulfate, in the presence of a catalytic amount of ferricyanide.The use of cyanide or sulfinate salts in place of nitrile gave gem-cyanonitro compounds and α-nitro sulfones, respectively.

Chemical transformations of the dianions of tetranitroethane and 1,1,4,4-tetranitro-2,3-butanediol

Some electrophilic reactions of the dianions of tetranitroethane and 1,1,4,4-tetranitro-2,3-butanediol, possible precursors of highly nitrated tetranitroethylene and 1,1,4,4-tetranitrobutadiene, were studied.In the obtained products in the presence of bases the C-C bonds readily undergo cleavage with the formation of stable C(NO2)2X anions and their transformation products.
