Electrochemical Methods for Synthesis of Energetic Materials and Remediation of Waste Water

Electrochemical Synthesis of High-Nitrogen Materials and Energetic Materials

“…47,48 Furazans and furoxans have been researched for many years as energetic moieties due to their positive heats of formation and the presence of oxygen atoms. 49−52 These initial syntheses were performed in a divided cell, using Pt electrodes, with a tetrabutylammonium salt of the parent nitramine (12) in acetonitrile. 47 The authors describe the formation of 17 through two possible pathways.…”

“…In the early 2000s, Petrosyan et al produced a series of publications on the electrochemical oxidation of nitramines to generate azo-coupled compounds. One such reaction was the oxidation of 3-methoxy-4-nitriminofurazan (12) in an undivided cell, which yielded 4,4′-dimethoxyazofurazan (17) in a 21% yield (Figure 2). 47,48 Furazans and furoxans have been researched for many years as energetic moieties due to their positive heats of formation and the presence of oxygen atoms.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, only one other review of the electrochemical synthesis of energetic materials has been published. 12 To promote the use of green chemical techniques, it is important to build familiarity with these techniques within the scientific community. By incorporating synthetic electrochemistry into new fields of research, such as energetic materials synthesis, we can help establish organic electrochemistry as a ubiquitous and indispensable synthetic technique.…”

“…Synthetic organic electrochemistry offers many advantages over traditional synthetic methodologies, including high stereoselectivity, high reactivity, decreased environmental toxicity, cost-effectiveness, and inherent scalability. − Over the past few decades, many excellent reviews and books have been written detailing the utility of electrochemistry in organic synthesis. ,,− However, there has been a notable lack of literature on the electrochemical synthesis of energetic materials. To the best of our knowledge, only one other review of the electrochemical synthesis of energetic materials has been published . To promote the use of green chemical techniques, it is important to build familiarity with these techniques within the scientific community.…”

Electrosynthesis ofN-Methylisatin

“…Electrosynthesis is considered a clean and efficient synthetic methodology. When using the electron as a reagent, the number of steps is reduced as compared to conventional thermal processes, cleaner reaction mixtures are obtained, the isolation of the product is simpler, and the pollution caused by the use of chemicals is decreased. − Stimulated by the recent achievements in electroorganic synthesis, in this work we study the electrochemical reduction of ISH in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution at a preparative scale (see Supporting Information) as a new and clean methodology for NMI synthesis. The electrolysis (controlled potential electrolysis, CPE) was performed under different experimental conditions (Table ).…”
