Procedure

The weight percentage ranges for hydrogen chloride in the concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid are critical. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (37 weight percent hydrogen chloride) failed to hydrolyze 1,7-diacetoxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane to 1,7-dihydroxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane. Aqueous hydrochloric acid solutions containing 20 and 25 weight percent of hydrogen chloride produced 1,7-dihydroxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane in low yield with undesirable impurities. However, concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid containing 30 weight percent hydrogen chloride was used to hydrolyze 1,7-diacetoxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane to produce 1,7-dihydroxy-2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triazaheptane in 75 percent yield. The product was sufficiently pure to be used as a monomer for energetic polymers without a purification step.
