Chemistry of nitramines. Part III. Cyclic nitramines derived from trimethylenedinitramine

Synthesis and characterization of high energy compounds. I. Trans‐1,4,5,8‐tetranitro‐1,4,5,8‐tetraazadecalin (TNAD)

“…We have chosen to work on the synthesis of polycyclic polynitramines because the predictive methods have indicated that these compounds would be both dense and relatively powerful. In this paper we describe the synthesis of one such compound, ( I ) , trans-1,4,5,8-tetranitro- 1,4,5,&tetraazadecalin TNAD). The predicted density(', *) and detonation velocity(3 \ are summarized below the structure:…”

Substituent effect on the molecular stability, group interaction, detonation performance, and thermolysis mechanism of nitroamino-substituted cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes

“…So far, there has been a significant history of interest in their structures and properties since they were first reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] . In order to obtain novel high energy density materials (HEDMs), without a doubt, scientists pay considerable attention to other cyclic nitramines all the while and manage to attach the NO 2 group essentially needed for the combustion (the so-called energetic function) to the heterocyclic rings to form energetic materials with good explosive performance [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] . For instance, 1,3,3-trinitroazetidine (TNAZ) is one of such famous HEDMs in use for both military and civilian industries [17,18] .…”

Synthesis of a New Explosive Compound, Trans-1,4,5,8-Tetranitro-1,4,5,8- Tetraazadecalin

“…The first route was based on a retro-synthetic analysis of TNAD into two molecules of ethylene dinitramine and a molecule of glyoxal as diagrammed in Scheme 1. It is known that dinitramines can be condensed with formaldehyde to give 1,3-dinitramines.^' 5 It was hoped that glyoxal would react similarly to formaldehyde. SCHEME 1.…”
