This invention discloses a method for preparing 6,10,10-trinitro-2-oxa-6-azaadamantane-4,8,9-
triol trinitrate, belonging to the field of
organic synthesis technology. Using 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene as a starting material, the method involves
oxidative cyclization, ammonolytic cyclization, Boc protection and
silane ether protection, secondary
alcohol oxidation, deBoc
acetylation, oximeization, geminitrohydration, and
nitration to finally synthesize 6,10,10-trinitro-2-oxa-6-azaadamantane-4,8,9-
triol trinitrate. The synthesis method is simple, and the final product exhibits stable properties. This invention addresses the lack of research on "azaadamantanes" (alkanes with
nitrogen and
oxygen heteroatoms synergistically introduced onto the same
adamantane skeleton) and the general lack of substituents available for in-depth functionalization in existing
adamantane skeleton construction methods. Furthermore, it introduces six explosive groups into the synthesized skeleton, resulting in a product with
high density and excellent
detonation performance.
