This invention relates to a method for preparing trinitromethyl
tricyclic compounds containing
nitrogen-rich groups, belonging to the field of energetic materials technology. The specific preparation steps are as follows: Scheme 1 uses 2,3-
diaminomaleonitrile to obtain the corresponding methyl ester-substituted intermediate through multiple steps of cyclization, acidification, and esterification. Then, through multiple steps of hydrazine substitution, cyclization with ethyl 3-ethoxy-3-iminopropionate
hydrochloride,
ester hydrolysis, and
nitration, the target compound trinitromethyl
tricyclic compound 2 is successfully synthesized. Scheme 2 uses ethyl diazonium acetate to obtain the corresponding methyl ester-substituted intermediate through multiple steps of cyclization, acidification, and esterification. Then, through multiple steps of hydrazine substitution, cyclization with ethyl 3-ethoxy-3-iminopropionate
hydrochloride,
nitration,
salt formation, and renitration, the target compounds trinitromethyl
tricyclic compounds 1, 3, and 4 are synthesized. The target compound has advantages such as
high nitrogen content,
high density, good
thermal stability and excellent
detonation performance, and can be used as a component of energetic materials, showing potential application value.
