Yes hexanitroderivative would be less interesting than the dodecanitroderivative.
Anyway DeltaH, it is a good idea, and I had related ideas starting from chloranile...and from nitranilic acid derived from it via NaNO2 (the 4
chlorines are replaced by nitros and two rearrange to nitrite ester of phenol and spontaneously hydrolise into phenol to get
dinitro-dihydroxy-p-quinone...the chlorine atoms are very easily exchanged by azide anions from NaN3.
Ideas are:
-Reaction with hydrazine and oxoacid salts of the polyhydrazine; diazotation to make polyazidobenzene.
-Reaction with hydroxylamine
-Reaction with nitromethane and eventual nitrosation
-Reaction with nitroform
The results of those reactions can go in many directions but all products are very interesting HE with possible high detonic properties (density, VOD,
brisance). |
