Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ion-coupled and electrochemical synergistic synthesis technology, specifically to a method for the synergistic synthesis of 3,3'-diamino-4,4'-azofuran and its ion-coupled and electrochemical synergistic synthesis. Background Technology

[0002] 3,3'-Diamino-4,4'-azofuran is an important high-nitrogen furazan compound with advantages such as good heat resistance, high standard heat of formation, low sensitivity, small critical diameter, and excellent detonation performance. It has been widely used in solid rocket propellants, civil blasting, and traffic safety. Traditional methods for synthesizing 3,3'-diamino-4,4'-azofuran typically face challenges such as low target product concentration, complex operating procedures, inability to reuse oxidants, harsh reaction conditions, and difficulties in purification.

[0003] Current oxidation systems often face several problems in practical applications, such as the hazardous nature of the oxidizing agents, their inability to be recycled, and their high cost. For example, sodium hypochlorite may react to produce toxic gases such as chlorine or chlorinated organic compounds, and it requires a stringent operating environment; potassium permanganate, during catalytic oxidation, is converted into manganate (MnO₂). 3- The reaction wastewater needs to be strictly treated; although the electrochemical oxidation method has less pollution, its production efficiency is low and it cannot achieve high-efficiency production of the target product.

[0014] Furthermore, the drying temperature in step four above is 40-50℃.

[0015] In another aspect, the present invention also provides 3,3-diamino-4,4-azofuran obtained by the above-described synthetic method.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of this invention are: 1.
