Procedure

27 grams of 100% nitric acid and 35 grams of trifluoroacetic anhydride were added to 25 ml. of cold nitromethane while maintaining the temperature at 10°C. 3 grams of DADN were then added and the resulting solution was heated rapidly to 40°C. and maintained at that temperature for 90 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled and drowned on ice, and the resulting precipitate was separated by filtration, washed acid-free with water and air dried. 2.86 grams of product analyzing 97% HMX and 3% SEX were obtained, corresponding to 91% of theory yield of HMX.
