It seems appealing because there is no concentrated H2SO4/HNO3 nitrations, and all the reagents are fairly cheap and readily available. The most
annoying part might be producing the diaminofurazan.. But hydroxylamine and glyoxal can be bought at a decent price...
I wonder if you could do a one pot reaction from diaminofurazan all the way to dinitroazoxyfurazan.. That would be handy. Hmm, nevermind, references
say the yields are very low..
Also I wonder if it would be possible to make a nitramine deriviative of diaminoazoxyfurazan, and what its properties would be? Nitration would
probably break the N=N or N-O-N linkages no?
By the way, Axt already published a beautiful PDF detailing his experiments with these compounds.

Could you upload it to another site? It says it can only be downloaded ten times and my bet is that more than 10 people wanna view it here CL-20 - 26-7-2009 at 12:32
