Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energetic materials technology, specifically relating to an energetic compound of diazidomethylisoxazole, its synthesis method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Energetic materials are indispensable for weapon systems, serving as the energy carrier for efficient damage in conventional weapon systems and the power source for long-range weapon delivery and gun firing. Among them, energetic compounds with low melting points have broad application prospects in cast-carrier explosives and energetic plasticizers. Energetic plasticizers are particularly indispensable in propellants and solid propellants.
[0003] Traditional energetic plasticizers are mostly energetic derivatives with aliphatic skeletons, which lack sufficient sensitivity and stability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design and synthesize novel low-melting-point energetic compounds. Novel energetic compounds with nitrogen heterocycles as the core skeleton have always been a research hotspot in the field of energetic materials. Currently, many promising high-energy-density energetic materials contain at least one nitrogen heterocycle structural unit. Isoxazole heterocycles possess high-energy NO, CO, and C=N bonds, giving the entire molecule a high positive enthalpy of formation. They exhibit unique characteristics of low C-H and high nitrogen content, easily achieving oxygen equilibrium, and their decomposition products are mainly nitrogen gas, making them easy to construct novel environmentally friendly energetic materials.
[0004] Currently, the overall performance of isoxazole heterocyclic nitrate-containing energetic plasticizers is not entirely satisfactory. Compounds with high heat of formation often have problems such as high sensitivity and poor safety and thermal stability, such as 5-(nitrate ester)-isooxazole-3-carboxylic acid ethyl ester and isoxazole-3,5-bis(methylene) dinitrate reported by Wingard et al. (Chempluschem. 2017, 82(2), 195-198). Other compounds have the problem of high heat of formation but low energy level.
