The production of energetic compounds by nitration processes is potentially very hazardous. The use of a flow reactor not only minimises the amount of reacting species and product at any one time but also allows better reaction control. Because of the high reactivity of dinitrogen pentoxide such nitrations lend themselves very readily to flow reactor processes. Dinitrogen pentoxide solutions in an inert solvent can also show greater specificity than conventional nitrating agents where there are two or more potential reactive sites on the substrate molecule which may react at different rates. The scale-up of processes is facilitated by a flow reactor technique where slower competing reactions can be eliminated by immediate quenching of the reacted stream. The application of this technique to the production of nitrato oxiranes and nitrato oxiranes will be presented.
