Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a heat-resistant energetic material PTO, belonging to the technical field of energetic materials. Background Art

[0002] PTO (4-amino-5-nitro-7H-pyrazolo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazine-2-oxide) is a heat-resistant energetic material synthesized by the China Academy of Engineering Physics in 2022 (Chem. Eng. J., 2022, 429, 132172). The density of PTO is 1.82 g·cm -3 , formation enthalpy 343.4 kJ·mol -1 , calculated explosion velocity reaches 8525m·s -1 The calculated detonation pressure is 29.4 GPa, with energy performance close to that of LLM-105 and significantly higher than that of traditional heat-resistant explosives such as TATB, PYX, and HNS. PTO has lower mechanical sensitivity than PYX and HNS, and a higher thermal decomposition temperature (up to 365°C), making it an ultra-high-temperature heat-resistant energetic material with excellent overall performance and broad application prospects.

[0003] Currently, PTO is synthesized using 3-amino-4-cyanopyrazole as the starting material through a four-step reaction process: cyclization with sodium azide, nitration, amination, and acidification. The first step requires reflux for 12 hours; the second step requires 4 hours at 50°C; and the third step requires 8 hours at 60°C. Although each step has high yields (>85%), the overall yield is only 71%. The product of the second step is a highly sensitive high-energy detonating explosive (Nat. Commun. 2019, 10, 1339). Therefore, the existing reaction route is highly risky, and the development of a new, simpler method for the synthesis of PTO is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a method for preparing a heat-resistant energetic material PTO, which adopts commercial raw materials and a one-step reaction to efficiently prepare PTO.

[0007] (1) At low temperature, the compound 4-aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine was added in batches to 98 wt% concentrated H2SO4, and the mixture was stirred for a period of time. Then, fuming nitric acid was added dropwise. The reaction solution was gradually heated to a certain temperature and stirred at the same temperature for a certain period of time.

[0008]

[0009] (2) After the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is poured into ice water, the precipitate is collected by filtration, washed with cold water, and dried in air to obtain PTO.

[0010] Preferably, in step (1), the concentration of fuming nitric acid is >95 wt %.

[0015] Preferably, in step (2), after the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is poured into 3 to 4 times the volume of ice water, and the precipitate is collected by filtration within 15 minutes.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
