Abstract:
Here, we report the nitration of NH on the 1,2,3-triazole ring and the synthesis of several nitrogen-rich energetic compounds based on key intermediate 4-azido-5-(chlorodinitromethyl)-2-nitro-2H-1,2,3-triazole (5). Starting from 4-amino-1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-carbonitrile (1), we successfully constructed compound 5 through four steps. Subsequently, the dechlorination of compound 5 gave potassium 4-azido-5-(dinitromethyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole (6) (IS = 1 J, vD = 8802 m s-1). Additionally, diammonium (8) and dihydrazinium (9) salts based on 4-azido-5-(dinitromethyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole were also successfully synthesized and characterized. A novel fused nitrogen-rich heterocycle, namely, 6H-[1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-d][1,2,3] triazine-6,7-diamine (10), was surprisingly obtained, which has a high nitrogen content of 73.66% and shows good thermal stability (Tdec = 203 °C) and insensitivity to mechanical stimuli, while the detonation velocity (vD) and detonation pressure (P) reach 8421 m s-1 and 26.0 GPa, respectively.

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...
