Synthesis of a New 1,2,4‐Triazine Derived Azidoxime

Abstract

A 1,2,4-triazine based azidoxime was formed via the substitution of a chloroxime (3) with sodium azide in ethanol. This compound was characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This material has a calculated density of 1.746 g • cm À 3 and is less sensitive to impact, spark, and fric-tion, as compared to PETN and RDX. The dehydrated material has a calculated density of 1.823 g • cm À 3 and the detonation pressure and velocity of 4 are calculated to be 29.1 GPa and 8.67 km • s À 1 , respectively.
