Studies on the Synthesis and Selective Reduction of Furoxan Derivatives

초록

The furoxan ring is well known as highly energetic heterocycles. And one of its derivatives, 3,4-bis(nitrofurazano)furoxan (BNFF) has excellent explosive properties such as high thermal stability, density, and higher detonation velocity and pressure comparable to HMX. BNFF and its structural isomer, 3,6-bis(4-nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazole-3-yl)-1,4,2,5-dioxadiazine (BNFOZ) are synthesized from commercially available malononitrile through multiple step. And futhermore we will discuss about selective reduction of BNFF and BNFOZ.
