The efficient and scalable synthesis of 3,3'-bis-isoxazole-5,5'bis-methylene dinitrate and its energetic properties are described. The material has favorable sensitivity properties;e nergetic properties point toward its potentiala sb oth am elt-castable secondary explosive and as ap ropellant plasticizer.The development of high-energy-density materials (HEDMs) [1] with good performance and low sensitivity is ac ommon goal amongstt hose with an interest in the field of energetic materials. HEDMs are divided into two main groups:e xplosives and propellants. Explosive materials contain as ignificant amount of potentiale nergy that produces as ignificant amount of light, heat, sound,a nd pressure when this energy is released suddenly.W hen this phenomenon occurs,i ti sk nown as an explosion. Ap ropellant is an energetic substance that is used to project av ehicle, bullet, or other object, typically through the formationo fhot, low-molecular-weight gases.Twor espective subareaso fe xplosives and propellants are melt-castable materials and energetic plasticizers.A ccording to the review by Ravi and co-workers, [2] an ideal melt-cast material is defined as having al ow vapor pressure (inhalation toxicity), am elting point between 70 and 120 8C, as ignificant difference between the melting temperature and the temperature of decomposition, ah igh density,l ow sensitivity,a nd a" greener" synthesis. Traditional melt-cast materials are based on trinitrotoluene (TNT), but environmental concerns have led to its replacement with dinitroanisole (DNAN)-based melt-castable eutecticf ormulations. [3] However,D NAN, with ad ensity of 1.52 gcm À3 ,a nd ad etonation velocity of 5670 ms À1 ,i saless powerful explosive than TNT. [4] Thus, there is an interest in de-
