Abstract
Unsymmetrical nitro and fluoronitro acetals of the formulas ROCH(CH.sub.3)OR' wherein R.noteq.R', but wherein both R and R' are selected from the group nsisting of -CH.sub.2 CXY(NO.sub.2), - CH.sub.2 C(NO.sub.2).sub.2 CH.sub.3, -ch.sub.2 cuvcxy(no.sub.2), and -CH.sub.2 CUVCWZCXY(NO.sub.2), wherein X and Y vary independently and are selected from the group consisting of F and NO.sub.2, and wherein U, V, W, and Z vary independently and are selected from the group consisting of H, F, and NO.sub.2, are useful as energetic plasticizers in rocket propellants or explosives.
