Method of preparation of epsilon-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane with reduced impact sensitivity

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of preparation of ε-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane with reduced impact sensitivity by precipitation of a solution of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane in a solvent by an antisolvent, wherein phosphorus(V) oxide is added as a recrystallization promoter to the solution of 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane in the solvent, the obtained mixture is stirred and filtered, and the filtrate is subsequently precipitated by the addition of the antisolvent.
