Abstract
The compound, 3,3-dinitroazetidine, and a process of preparing 3,3-dinitroazetidine including reacting a mixture of 1-tertiary-butyl-3,3-dinitroazetidine and benzyl chloroformate to form 1-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-3,3-dinitroazetidine, reacting the 1-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-3,3-dinitroazetidine and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid to form 3,3-dinitroazetidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and neutralizing the 3,3-dinitroazetidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate with a base to form 3,3-dinitroazetidine are provided. Salts of the 3,3-dinitroazetidine and preparation of such salts are also disclosed.
