Synthesis of Polynitrodiazophenols
Atkins, Ronald L.,Wilson, William S.
, p. 2572 - 2578 (2007/10/02)
The formation of diazophenols by nitration of suitably substituted anilines and rearrangement of the nitroaromatic nitramines so formed is presented.The scope of the reaction is discussed, and a mechanism for the nitramine/diazophenol rearrangement is proposed which is consistent with 15N-labeling experiments.
Studies of Stab Initiation. Sensitization of Lead Azide by Energetic Sensitizers
Spear, Robert J.,Elischer, Paul P.
, p. 1 - 13 (2007/10/02)
A series of 17 compounds which ignite and explode upon heating have been synthesizwd.Ignition temperatures range from 122 deg C to 261 deg C.The ability of these compounds to sensitize the primary explosive lead azide to stab initiation has been determined on 1:10 admixtures.The general trend observed was that stab initiation energies increase with sensitizer ignition temperature but the overall correlation is poor.An assessment of the dependence of the ratio of sensitizer to lead azide on stab initiation energies is also included for two of the compounds.The results are interpreted in terms of possible mechanisms for the initiation process and support the hypothesis that frictional processes are of primary importance
