Abstract

1,1-Dinitrocyclopropane was prepared in 62% yield. This high energetic compound was previously unknown. Herein its preparation via tandem reaction between nitroform and diazomethane in benzene is described.

Key words

1,1-dinitrocyclopropane - trinitromethane - diazomethane - tandem reactions - alicyclic nitro compounds
