2- azidoethyl nitrate

Many energetic componnds have been reported where the azido group is in conjunction with another explosophore . This has been a popular approach to new energetic materials. 2-Azidoethyl nitrate, an explosive resembling nitroglycerine (NG) in its properties, was synthesized some time ago from the reaction of 2-chloroethanol with sodium azide followed by G-nitration of the product, 2-azidoethanol, with nitric acid. °... 

Displacements with azido anion are tolerant of many pre-existing explosophoric groups but the nitrate ester group readily undergoes displacement as seen for the synthesis of bis(2-azidoethyl)nitramine (13) from Ai-nitrodiethanolamine dinitrate (12) (DINA). " ...

Density and thermal characteristics of azido- and azidoethyl-containing triazoliiun derivatives are summarized in Table 3. The data show that the position of a substituent group on the triazoUiun ring played an important role, e.g., Tg (- 57 °C) for l-(2-azidoethyl)-4-methyl-l,2,4-triazolium nitrate (17a) and l-methyl-4-(2-azidoethyl)-l,2,4-triazolium nitrate (20a) (Tg - 56 °C) are essentially the same, but their decomposition temperatures (17a, Td, 119°C 20a, Tdl43 °C) differ markedly [37]. For the analogous perchlorate salts, the melting points and thermal degradation temperatures are Tg, - 52 °C and Td 192 = C for 17b, and Tm, 63 °C and Tj 152 °C for 20b, respectively.
