Abstract
3-Fluoro-3-nitrooxetane is prepared by a method which comprises reacting luoro-2-nitro propanediol with trifluoro methane sulfonic anhydride, separating the reaction product and then further reacting the reaction product with a base. The oxetane may be polymerized to form a nitro containing polyether which is useful as a binder material for explosives or propellants.
