A New Approach for the Synthesis of 2,3,4а,6,7,8а,9,10-Octaaza-4,8-dioxo-3,4,4a,7,8,8а,9,9a,10,10а-decahydroanthracene and High-Energy Performance Characterization of Its Dinitramide Salt.

A simple, one-pot regioselective method for the synthesis of a high-nitrogen tricycle, 2,3,4а,6,7,8а,9,10-octaaza-4,8-dioxo-3,4,4a,7,8,8а,9,9a,10,10а-decahydroanthracene, with a yield of 27% was developed on a starting urea basis as a result of studies focused on finding new, more efficient approaches to the synthesis of high-energy derivatives of dinitramic acid (DNA). This tricycle was further treated to furnish 2,3,4а,6,7,8а,9,10-octaaza-4,8-dioxo-3,4,4a,7,8,8а,9a,10а-octohydroanthracene-9,10-ion-bis(dinitramide). The resultant salt of dinitramic acid exhibited inhibitory properties towards the burning rate of pyrotechnic compositions, reducing it by 30%, and possessed good thermal stability due to a high decomposition temperature above 260 °C and a low sensitivity to mechanical stimuli.

Adducts of the Zinc Salt of Dinitramic Acid.

Herein, we describe the synthesis of coordination compounds starting from carbohydrazide ((HNHN)C=O (CHZ)) and the Zn salt of dinitramic acid (HDN), which are high-nitrogen substances that exhibit properties similar to those of a burning-rate inhibitor of pyrotechnic compositions. This study demonstrates that these compounds react with glyoxal to furnish adducts of metal-organic macrocyclic cages bearing the elements of carbohydrazide, complexing metals and the HDN anion, depending on the ratio of the starting reactants. The assembled macrocyclic cage has "host-guest" properties and is a safe container for the storage of HDN salts.

Investigation of 1,4-Substituted 1,2,3-Triazole Derivatives as Antiarrhythmics: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties.

Here, we investigated the reaction of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1,3-diazido-2-nitro-2- azapropane (DANP) to propargyl alcohol over a copper-based catalyst and identified the optimum reaction conditions that enable the synthesis of 2-nitro-1,3-bis(4,4'-dihydroxymethyl)-1,2,3-triazolyl-2-azapropane () in more than 84% yield. The reaction between DANP, 1,5-diazido-3-nitrazapentane, and phenylacetylene produced the respective 1,2,3-triazole derivatives in 83% and 71% yields, respectively. The structures of the resultant compounds were validated by infrared and NMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis.

Synthesis of Nitro- and Acetyl Derivatives of 3,7,10-Trioxo-2,4,6,8,9,11-hexaaza[3.3.3]propellane.

Here, we report the study results of the nitration of 3,7,10-trioxo-2,4,6,8,9,11-hexaaza[3.3.3]propellane (THAP) by different nitrating agents such as nitric acid, mixed nitric/sulfuric acids, nitric anhydride, and mixed concentrated nitric acid/acetic anhydride to furnish 3,7,10-trioxo-2-nitro-2,4,6,8,9,11-hexaaza[3.

Macrocycle as a "Container" for Dinitramide Salts.

Dinitramic acid salts are promising components as oxidizers and burning-rate modifiers of high-energy compositions. However, most of these salts are not free of drawbacks such as hygroscopicity. Therefore, their application under special conditions of use and storage is limited.
