New aminating reagents forthe synthesis of 1,3,5-Triamino-2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene (TATB) and other insensitive energetic materials

Conference Pagoria, P; Mitchell, A; Schmidt, R

We are investigating the amination of electrophilic aromatic systems through the use of Vicarious Nucleophilic Substitution (VNS) chemistry. This research has led to a new synthesis of 1,3,5-Triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) and 1,3-diamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (DATB) which uses 2,4,6-trinitroaniline (picramide) or 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene as starting materials. We also describe the development of a new class of VNS aminating reagents based on quarternary hydrazinium halides. 1,1,1-Trimethylhydrazinium iodide (TMHI), available from the methylation of the surplus propellant uns-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), was used in a new synthesis of TATB. The advantages, scope and limitations of the VNS approach to the synthesis of TATB and other amino-substituted nitroarenes are discussed.

Small scale thermal violence experiments for combined insensitive high explosive and booster materials

Conference Rae, Philip; Bauer, Clare; Stennett, C; ...

A small scale cook-off experiment has been designed to provide a violence metric for both booster and IHE materials, singly and in combination. The experiment has a simple, axisymmetric geometry provided by a 10 mm internal diameter cylindrical steel confinement up to 80 mm in length. Heating is applied from one end of the sample length creating pseudo 1-D heating profile and a thermal gradient across the sample(s). At the opposite end of the confinement to the heating block, a machined groove provides a point of rupture that generates a cylindrical fragment. The displacement of the external face of themore »« less

Synthesis of high density insensitive energetic tetraazapentalene derivatives

Conference Trudell, M; Subramanian, G; Eck, G; ...

An improved nitration procedure has been developed for the synthesis of y-Tacot. The synthesis of y-DBBD has been completed in three steps from y-Tacot in 37% yield. y-DBBD was found to be thermally stable up to 274 C (decomposed) and insensitive to impact (hammer blow). Nitration of z-DBBD and y-DBBD gave carbonyl derivatives resulting from in situ hydrolysis/oxidation of the corresponding tetranitro derivatives z-TBBD and y-TBBD, respectively. [y-Tacot = 2,4,8,10-tetranitrobenzotriazolo[1,2-a]benzotriazol-6-ium inner salt; y-DBBD = 2,10-dinitro[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-e][1,2,5]oxadizolo[3{prime},4{prime}:5,4]benzotriazolo[1,2-a]benzotriazol-6-ium inner salt 3,9-dioxide; z-DBBD = 4,11-dinitro[1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-e][1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3{prime},4{prime}:4,5]benzotriazolo[2,1-a]benzotriazol-6-ium inner salt 1,8-dioxide].
Synthesis of Amino- and Nitro-Substituted Heterocycles as Insensitive Energetic Materials

Conference Pagoria, P; Lee, G; Mitchell, A; ...

In this paper we will describe the synthesis of several amino- and nitro-substituted heterocycles, examples from a continuing research project targeted at the synthesis of new, insensitive energetic materials that possess at least 80% the power of HMX (28% more power than TATB). Recently we reported the synthesis and scale-up of the insensitive energetic material, 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide (LLM-105). The energy content (81% the power of HMX) and thermal stability of LLM-105 make it a viable candidate material for insensitive boosters and deep oil perforation. We will report on recent synthetic improvements and several performance and safety tests performed on LLM-105, includingmore »« less
