Abstract

A method for the preparation of 2,4,6-trinitro-2,4,6-triaza-cyclohexanone yielding a product with a low concentration of impurities which results in improved thermal stability is disclosed, the method involving the use of either 2-nitroimino-5-nitrohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine or an acid salt of 2-nitroimino-hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine as starting materials, with a mixture of reagents comprising (CF3 CO)2 O and either HNO3 or NH4 NO3. The product is advantageous compared with RDX and HMX since it is more energetic and has a higher density.
