Procedure

In another embodiment of the present invention, 3,3-dinitroazetidine can serve as a starting material for the preparation of 1,3,3-trinitroazetidine. After preparation of 3,3-dinitroazetidine, the material can be admixed with, e.g., ammonium nitrate to form the energetic salt, 3,3-dinitroazetidinium nitrate. This material can then be dehydrated to form the product 1,3,3-trinitroazetidine. This process is high yielding and produces a minimum of byproducts.
