Abstract:
The B3PW91/6-31G** theoretical method was carried out to optimize the structure of 12 polynitro imidazo [4,5-e] oxadiazolo [3,4-b] pyrazine compounds (two structural type). The influence of nitro groups on the structure, oxygen balance, density, heat of formation, detonation performances, and charge were investigated. The results showed that the oxygen balance, density, heat of formation, detonation velocity, detonation pressure, and detonation heat increased with different relationships when the number of nitro groups increased. The contribution of the dinitroethylene group to energy was greater than that of the nitroimino group. On the whole, the sensitivity of all compounds increased with the number of -NO2 groups, and the second type of compound is more sensitive because of more nitro groups. The alkaline of the amine will decrease with the increasing number of -NO2 groups, and nitrification action will become more difficult.

Amides to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
Amide reduction requires two equivalents of the reducing agent, acting as a source of hydride ions. As shown in the figure, the reaction is initiated with a nucleophilic attack by the hydride ion at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate.

Nitriles to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
As shown below, the mechanism involves three steps. Firstly, the hydride ion acting as a nucleophile attacks the nitrile carbon to form an anion. In the second step, a second equivalent of the hydride ion attacks the anion to...
Acid Halides to Alcohols: LiAlH4 Reduction
The mechanism proceeds in three steps. First, the nucleophilic hydride ion attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid halide to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Next, the carbonyl group is re-formed, and the halide ion departs as a leaving group, generating an aldehyde. A second nucleophilic attack by the hydride yields an alkoxide ion, which, upon protonation, gives a primary alcohol as...
