3,3-Dinitroazetidine → 3,3-Dinitroazetidinium 2,4-dinitroimidazolate

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,3-Dinitroazetidine free base (1.0 g) was added to a solution of 2,4-dinitroimidazole (1.07 g) in 50 ml of warm acetonitrile. The solution was allowed to cool and the majority of the solvent evaporated. The remaining slurry was filtered and dried to give 1.98 g of the resultant product, 3,3-dinitroazetidinium 2,4-dinitroimidazolate (95% yield).
