Synthetic Optimization Of Tacot-Derived Nitrogen-Rich Energetic Compounds And Reaction Mechanism Research

High-nitrogen energetic compounds are widely used in military and civil fields. To cope with some special conditions, materials with high melting point and good heat resistance are required. Herein, synthetic approach of two TACOT-derived compounds with high heat resistance and strong insensitivity for friction has been optimized. Significantly, 100 g-scale of aza-TACOT(I) was prepared with a total yield of 80% and a purity of 99.9%. Meanwhile, aza-TACOT(II) was obtained with a purity of 98.9% under the optimized conditions. This practical method features scalable and simple operations. In addition, an acceptable mechanism was firstly proposed for the critical step.
