Synthesis, scale-up, and characterization of 2,6-diamino-3,5- dinitropyrazine-1-oxide (LLM-105)

摘要

We have synthesized 4OOg of the new, insensitive, energetic heterocycle, 2, 6-diamino-3,5- dinitropyrazine-l-oxide (LLM-105) with 81% the energy of HMX and excellent thermal stability. The synthesis is a three step reaction sequence from the commercially available starting material, 2,6-dichloropyrazine, with an overall yield of 36%. In this paper we will describe the scale-up of the synthesis of LLM- 105 and report on performance and shock sensitivity experiments performed on this material.
