Synthesis and structure of 6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine and its N-nitro derivatives

Abstract

Methods were developed for the synthesis of 6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)- 1,3,5-triazine and its N-nitro derivatives (6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl)nitramino-1,3,5-triazine and 6-azido-2-(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)-4-(2,2,2-trinitroethyl)nitramino-1,3,5-triazine) containing combinations of azido, trinitroethyl, and nitramine groups. These compounds are of interest as components of energetic composites. The molecular and crystal structures of 6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine and 6-azido-2,4-bis(2,2,2-trinitroethyl) nitramino-1,3,5-triazine were studied by X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy.
