Synthesis of 1,1'-dinitro-3,3'-azo-1,2,4-triazole

Technical Report Lee, K Y

A novel compound has been prepared and is a candidate for high-energy propellant applications. The 1,1'-dinitro-3,3'-azo-1,2,4-triazole (N-DNAT) has a density of 1.77 g/cm/sup 3/ and can be prepared from inexpensive starting materials.
Production of the ammonium salt of 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole by solvent extraction

Patent Lee, Kien Y [Los Alamos, NM]; Ott, Donald G [Los Alamos, NM]

The ammonium salt of 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole has utility as a chemical explosive. In accordance with the present invention, it may readily be produced by solvent extraction using high-molecular weight, water-insoluble amines followed by amination with anhydrous ammonia gas. The aqueous reaction mixture produced in the synthesis of the parent compound, 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazole, is quite suitable--and indeed is preferred--for use as the feed material in the process of the invention.

Patent Mitchell, Alexander R [Livermore, CA]; Pagoria, Philip F [Livermore, CA]; Schmidt, Robert D [Livermore, CA]

The present invention relates to a process to produce 1,3-diamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (DATB) or 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6,-trinitrobenzene (TATB) by: (a) reacting at ambient pressure and a temperature of between about 0.degree. and 50.degree. C. for between about 0.1 and 24 hr, a trinitroaromatic compound of structure V: ##STR1## wherein X, Y, and Z are each independently selected from the group consisting of --H and --NH.sub.2, with the proviso that at least 1 or 2 of X, Y, and Z are hydrogen; with an effective amount of 1-amino-1,2,4-triazole, hydroxylamine or O-alkylhydroxamine to produce DATB or TATB; in the presence of a strong base selected frommore » « less

3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one, a less sensitive explosive

Patent Lee, Kien-Yin [Los Alamos, NM]; Coburn, Michael D [Los Alamos, NM]

A less sensitive explosive, 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one. The compound 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) has a crystal density of 1.93 g/cm.sup.3 and calculated detonation velocity and pressure equivalent to those of RDX. It can be prepared in high yield from inexpensive starting materials in a safe synthesis. Results from initial small-scale sensitivity tests indicate that NTO is less sensitive than RDX and HMX in all respects. A 4.13 cm diameter, unconfined plate-dent test at 92% of crystal density gave the detonation pressure predicted for NTO by the BKW calculation.
