Synthesis of a new 1,2,4-triazine derived Azidoxime

A 1,2,4-triazine based azidoxime was formed via the substitution of a chloroxime (3) with sodium azide in ethanol. This compound was characterized via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This material has a calculated density of 1.746 g•cm –1 and is less sensitive to impact, spark, and friction, as compared to PETN and RDX. The dehydrated material has a calculated density of 1.823 g•cm –1 and the detonation pressure and velocity of 4 are calculated to be 29.1 GPa and 8.67 km•s –1 , respectively.

Mono- and Dinitro-BN-Naphthalenes: Formation and Characterization

Mono- and dinitro-BN-naphthalenes, i.e., 1-nitro-, 3-nitro-, 1,6-dinitro-, 3,6-dinitro-, and 1,8-dinitro-BNN, were generated in the nitration of 9,10-BN-naphthalene (BNN), a boron–nitrogen (BN) bond-embedded naphthalene, with AcONO 2 and NO 2 BF 4 in acetonitrile. The nitrated products were isolated and characterized by NMR, GC-MS, IR, and X-ray single crystallography. The effects of the nitration on the electron density and aromaticity of BNN were evaluated by B-11 NMR analysis and HOMA calculations.
