3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one, a less sensitive explosive
Kien-Yin Lee,Michael D. Coburn +1 more
TL;DR: A less sensitive explosive, 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) has a crystal density of 1.93 g/cm 3 and calculated detonation velocity and pressure equivalent to those of RDX as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green primary explosives: 5-nitrotetrazolato-N2-ferrate hierarchies.
TL;DR: Four series of 5-nitrotetrazolato-N2-ferrate hierarchies have been prepared that provide a plethora of green primaries with diverse initiating sensitivity and explosive performance that hold great promise for replacing not only toxic lead primaries but also thermally unstable primaries and poisonous agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved synthesis of 3,6-diamino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine. II: From triaminoguanidine and 2,4-pentanedione
Michael D. Coburn,G. A. Buntain,Betty W. Harris,Michael A. Hiskey,Kien-Yin Lee,Donald G. Ott +5 more
TL;DR: A new synthesis for triaminoguanidine monohydrochloride gave an 80% overall yield as mentioned in this paper, which was developed for the title compound that gives an 80 % overall yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved synthesis of 5-amino-3-nitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole (ANTA), a useful intermediate for the preparation of insensitive high explosives
TL;DR: In this paper, the ammonium salt of 3,5-dinitro-1H-1,2,4-triazole (ADNT) with hydrazine hydrate gives 5-amino-3-nitro 1H 1, 2, 4-triaxole (ANTA) in greater than 90% yields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Picrylamino-substituted heterocycles. II. Furazans
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of various picrylamino-and nitro-substituted furazans and bifurazanyls is described, except for 3,4-bis(picrylaminofurazan), which was obtained by nitrating 3, 4-dianilinofuran.
