Abstract

The synthesis of pentaerythritol trinitrate persubstituted 1,2,4,5-tetrazine and 1,3,5-triazine is reported. These materials were characterized with respect to their chemical and energetic materials properties. X-ray crystallographic analyses were also performed. The UV/Vis, Raman, and cyclic voltammetry data were collected and are reported.

Key words

tetrazines - triazines - heterocycle - cyclic voltammetry - UV/Vis - energetic materials

  • 7 Compound 4 – Typical Procedure PETRIN (1, 390 mg, 1.44 mmol) was placed in a 25 mL round-bottomed flask. Compound 3 (555 mg, 1.44 mmol) was then added along with CH2Cl2 (2 mL). The reaction was stirred. 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (287 mg, 2.35 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred for 2 h. The reaction was filtered through a short plug of silica, the eluent collected and evaporated to give the desired product, 4, as a reddish-pink solid (735 mg, 82%), mp 139 °C, 147 °C (dec.). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d 6): δ = 4.68 (s, 2 H), 4.85 (s, 6 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, DMSO-d 6): δ = 41.54, 66.83, 70.66, 165.54.
