Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 55.0 g (0.19 mol) of bis(2-fluoro-2,2-dinitroethyl)amine, 38 ml of chloroform, 40 ml of ethyl chlorothiolformate and 20 ml of titanium tetrachloride was heated in an oil bath at 65°-67° C. for 17 hours (The reaction mixture was protected from atmospheric moisture with a drierite drying tube). Chloroform (100 ml) was added to the warm mixture which was then filtered through celite. The dark colored filtrate was pulled on a rotary evaporator to give a residue which was dissolved in methanol and treated with charcoal. After filtration, the solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator and the product was crystallized by dissolving in chloroform (55 ml) and cooling in the freezer. The yield was 48.0 g (67%), mp 74°-75° C., NMR (chloroform): δ1.26(t), 2.95(q), 4.83(d).
