Usage

General Description

2,2-dinitropropane-1,3-diol, also known as DNPD, is a highly reactive and explosive chemical compound. It is commonly used in the production of explosives and propellants due to its powerful explosive properties. DNPD is a clear, colorless liquid that is soluble in water and has a boiling point of 120 degrees Celsius. It is highly unstable and can undergo rapid decomposition when subjected to heat, shock, or friction. Due to its hazardous nature, DNPD is strictly regulated and controlled, and proper handling and storage procedures must be followed to prevent accidents and ensure safety.

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.

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.
