The synthesis of a new energetic 1,2,4‐triazole compound bearing nitrofurazanyl and fluorodinitromethyl units, which may find use as a component for rocket ramjet engines (RRE), is described. The target product was prepared in a four‐step process applying oxidation/nitration/decarboxylation/fluorination reactions and is fully characterized. Its density and structural features were uniquely determined by X‐ray analysis. It is shown that replacing HMX with the compound of this study in boron‐based fuels gives an increase in energy.

A straightforward and efficient method for the synthesis of (1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)furazans was developed based on oxidative cyclization of N'-arylidene amidrazones of furazan-3-carboxylic acid using the accessible and non-toxic phenyliodoso diacetate.
