Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for preparing dihydroxyammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate. The method for preparing dihydroxyammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: synthesizing 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diol dihydrate (1,1′-BTO) from ditetrahydropyranyl diazidoglyoxime (THP-DAG) by using a hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution in a first solvent; and reacting 1,1′-BTO with an amine solution so as to neutralize same and, simultaneously, obtaining dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (Thomas Klapotke explosive-50, TKX-50).
Claims11
A method of preparing dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate, the method comprising steps of:
- synthesizing 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diol dihydrate (1,1′-BTO) from ditetrahydropyranyl diazidoglyoxime using a hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution in a first solvent;
- and
- obtaining dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,l′-diolate, and simultaneously, reacting and neutralizing the 1,1′-BTO and an amine solution,
- wherein the step of synthesizing the 1, 1′-BTO comprises adding the ditetrahydropyranyl diazidoglyoxime and the first solvent to a reactor, adding an HCl solution with a concentration of 20% to 50%, and performing stirring in a temperature range of 30° C. to 60° C.,
- wherein the step of obtaining the dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate comprises:
- forming a solution by dissolving an amine solution and an HCl solution in water and then adding sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and adding water, to prepare an amine-containing solution;
- adding the 1, 1′-BTO and the amine-containing solution to the first solvent;
- performing stirring for 10 minutes to 40 minutes while maintaining a temperature range of 30° C. to 50° C.;
- raising a temperature of a reactor to a temperature of 70° C. to 90° C. and performing stirring for 20 minutes to 60 minutes;
- adding an amine-containing solution;
- performing stirring;
- performing cooling by lowering a reaction temperature of a solution to a temperature of 1° C. to 10° C.;
- and performing a filtration, to precipitate dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate, and
- wherein the first solvent comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), and m-cresol.
