Participants

Reaction Steps

The 3,3,7,7-tetranitro-5-azanonane-1,9-diol and its 1,9-diester derivatives are secondary amines with an active N-hydrogen which can be replaced with a more energetic group. For instance, Example 5 illustrate the nitration of the diacetate to form 3,3,5,7,7-pentanitro-5-azanonane-1,9-diol-1,9-diacetate using 90% nitric acid and acetic anhydride, ##STR19## Example 6 shows the acid hydrolysis of this diacetate to form 3,3,5,7,7-pentanitro-5-azanonane-1,9-diol, ##STR20##
