Synthetic Studies of Dinitrogen Pentoxide (N2O5)

摘要

A series of nitrolysis reactions of nitrosamines to nitramines were investigated using dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) in various solvents. Reactions were found to be very solvent dependent. The best results were achieved using N2O5 in 100 percent nitric acid. The conversion of hexamine to RDX in one step employing N2O5 was also studied.
