The invention discloses a
tetra-azido
alkane and a preparation method thereof. A
structural formula of the
tetra-azido
alkane is (N3CH2)2CH(CH2)3CH(CH2N3)2. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: under the protection of
nitrogen, reacting
diethyl malonate and 1,3-
dibromopropane at a low temperature to obtain tetracthyl-1,1,5,5-pentanctetracarboxylate; under the protection of the
nitrogen, carrying out ice bath at below 5 DEG C, and reacting the tetracthyl-1,1,5,5-pentanctetracarboxylate and a tetrahydroaluminate
diethyl ether solution to obtain 2,6-dihydromethyl-1,7-heptandiol; carrying out the ice bath at below 5 DEG C, reacting paratoluensulfonyl
chloride and a
pyridine solution of the 2,6-dihydromethyl-1,7-heptandiol for 10h, and carrying out
chloroform recrystallization to obtain 2,6-p-ditoluenosulfonate methyl-1,7-p-ditoluenosulfonate methyl heptaester; and adding an
aqueous solution of
sodium azide to a
dimethylformamide solution of the 2,6-p-ditoluenosulfonate methyl-1,7-p-ditoluenosulfonate methyl heptaester to react for 15h at 80 DEG C to obtain a 2,6-biazido-1,7-di-azido
heptane product.
