Abstract:
We have explored the geometric and electronic structures, band gap, thermodynamic properties, density, detonation velocity and detonation pressure of aminopolynitropyrazoles using the density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The calculated detonation velocity and detonation pressure, stability and sensitivity of model compounds appear to be promising compared to the known explosives 3,4-dinitro-1 H-pyrazole (3,4-DNP), 3,5-dinitro-1 H-pyrazole (3,5-DNP), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-l,3,5,7-tetraazocane (HMX). The position of NH(2) group in the polynitropyrazoles presumably determines the structure, stability, sensitivity, density, detonation velocity and detonation pressure.

Structure of Amines
Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
