Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energetic materials and relates to an energetic compound of the furazolidone class and its synthesis method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, energetic materials have been increasingly widely used in military and civilian applications, particularly in high explosives, initiators, pyrotechnics, propellants, and gas generators. Consequently, the requirements for energetic materials are becoming increasingly stringent, demanding not only excellent detonation performance but also low sensitivity, good chemical stability, and environmental friendliness. The pursuit of a balance between high energy and low sensitivity remains a perennial theme in energetic materials research, where the presence of nitrogen-rich heterocyclic frameworks can enhance compound stability and enthalpy of formation. Furazan rings, with their high positive enthalpy of formation (219 kJ / mol), are particularly noteworthy. -1 Furazan oxide has potential applications in both propellants and explosives. Furthermore, furazan oxide, being a nitrogen-oxidized derivative of furazan, further enhances the oxygen balance and formation enthalpy (226 kJ / mol) of the furazan ring skeleton. -1 ).
[0003] Studies have shown that introducing a furazolidone ring into the molecular backbone can increase the molecular density by approximately 0.06-0.08 g cm⁻¹. -3 The detonation velocity increased by approximately 300 m / s. -1 Furthermore, the furazan oxide ring is also a large π-bond system, and its introduction helps improve the stability of energetic compounds. Therefore, linking the furazan oxide ring with other energetic groups or skeletons can yield high-nitrogen energetic derivatives with good overall performance. Meanwhile, generating energetic ionic salts is also an effective method for preparing energetic materials. The properties of ionic salts can be adjusted by changing the component ions with different properties, thereby obtaining a richer variety of higher-energy and safer energetic materials.
[0004] There are few reports on heterocyclic cationic salts based on furazan oxide, and the thermal decomposition temperature of furazan oxide-based energetic materials is low, which limits the practical application of furazan oxide-based energetic materials. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to propose a novel oxidized furazolidone-based energetic compound and its preparation method, which uses inexpensive and readily available raw materials, has a high reaction yield and high product purity.

[0010]
[0011] (2) The step of synthesizing the target product, furazolidone hydrazone-like energetic compound 2, by condensing intermediate 1 with oxalohydrazide.

[0018] Fourthly, the present invention provides the use of the furazolidone-type energetic compounds described in the first aspect as explosives.
[0019] Compared with existing oxidized furazolidone synthesis techniques, the method of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0020] (1) Existing methods for synthesizing furazolidone hydrazones are lengthy and have low yields. This invention utilizes the cyclization reaction of aldehydes and sodium nitrite to directly synthesize furazolidone hydrazones in one step. The target compound is then obtained directly through a simple condensation system, which simplifies the reaction process, increases the overall reaction yield, and reduces production costs.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0026] This invention uses trans-butenal as a raw material, which undergoes a cyclization reaction with sodium nitrite to generate a 3-methyl-4-formyl-2-oxofurazan intermediate. The intermediate is then condensed with oxalylhydrazine to synthesize the target product 2-bis((3-methyl-4-oxofurazanyl)-methylenehydrazyl)-1-oxalylhydrazine. The specific synthesis method is as follows: Trans-butenal is added to a three-necked flask, followed by glacial acetic acid. The reaction flask is placed in a low-temperature bath at 14°C and stirred. 1.5–3 equivalents of sodium nitrite (preferably 2.3 equivalents) are dissolved in water. The sodium nitrite solution is slowly added dropwise to the three-necked flask through a constant-pressure dropping funnel, maintaining the temperature at 14°C. After the addition is complete, the temperature is maintained and stirring continues for 24 hours. After the reaction was complete, sodium bicarbonate solid was added to the reaction solution to adjust the pH to neutral. The mixture was extracted three times with dichloromethane. The organic phases were combined, washed twice with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, concentrated, and separated by column chromatography to obtain 3-methyl-4-formyl-2-oxofurazan. Next, oxalohydrazine, anhydrous ethanol, and dilute hydrochloric acid were added to a three-necked flask. The prepared 3-methyl-4-formyl-2-oxofurazan was added in batches under stirring, and the mixture was then refluxed for 24 hours. Upon cooling, a white precipitate formed. This precipitate was filtered, washed with cold ethanol, and the target compound, 2-bis((3-methyl-4-oxofurazanyl)-methylenehydrazyl)-1-oxalohydrazine, was obtained.
