4.6- Diazido-2-nitramino-1,3,5-triazine

The sensitivity of the cesium and rubidium salts of 4,6-diazido-2-nitramino-1,3,5-triazine has been published by Hirlinger and Bichay and is reprinted in Table 13.4 [8]. 

Another relatively recently investigated group of primary nitramines are salts of 4,6-diazido-2-nitramino-l,3,5-triazine (DANT). These substances have been... 

Preparation of DANT has been briefly described by Hirlinger and Bichay [8] Fronabarger et al. [11] and more recently by Musil et al. in detail [10]. Cyanuric chloride is the starting material that is aminated at low temperature to yield 2-amino-4,6-dichloro-l,3,5-triazine which in turn reacts with sodium azide to form 2-amino-4,6-diazido-l,3,5-triazine. Finally, the product is nitrated at low temperature with 100 % nitric acid to produce the final product, 4,6-diazido-2-nitramino-l,3,5-triazine. The alkali salts are readily formed by reaction with the appropriate hydroxides in methanol [8, 10, 11].
