Reaction Steps

The oxetane of the present invention has the formula: ##STR1## The oxetane of Formula I, 3-azidomethyl-3-nitratomethyloxetane (ANMO), is synthesized using 3-bromomethyl-3-hydroxymethyl oxetane (BMHMO) as the starting material. Reaction of 3-bromomethyl-3-hydroxymethyloxetane with sodium azide (NAN3) in acetone or dimethylformamide (DMF) gives the corresponding 3-azidomethyl-3-hydroxymethyloxetane in essentially quantitative yield. Subsequent reaction of 3-azidomethyl-3-hydroxymethyloxetane with acetyl nitrate gives the oxetane AMNO.
