A method for precipitating as particles 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide (or ANPZO) present in an acid medium, which comprises adding the acid medium to an aqueous solution and which is characterized in that the aqueous solution comprises a nitrate salt. Further disclosed is a method for synthesizing ANPZO implementing this precipitation method. The synthesis method comprises converting 2,6-diaminopyrazine-1-oxide (or DAPO) into ANPZO by nitration in an acid medium, and then precipitating as particles the ANPZO by adding the acid medium to an aqueous solution, and is characterized in that the aqueous solution comprises a nitrate salt.

The invention concerns the use of cyclic azaboronates as sensitive materials in sensors for the detection of the presence of peroxides, in particular hydrogen peroxide, in a gaseous environment. It further concerns new cyclic azaboronates, as well as sensors comprising these azaboronates as sensitive materials. Applications for the invention include the following: fight against terrorism, monitoring for security purposes of sites in which peroxides or peroxidable compounds are manufactured, stored, and/or used, monitoring of atmospheric pollution, etc.

A method for synthesizing 3,5-dichloroanisole from 1,3,5-trichloro-benzene is proved. The method may comprises: a) the reaction between 1,3,5-trichloro-benzene and a methanolate of an alkaline or alkaline-earth metal in a first solvent chosen from among dimethylsulfoxide and 1,1,3,3-t&#xe9;tramethylurea, b) the precipitation of the product resulting from step a) in a second solvent which is not included among substances considered carcinogenic, mutagenic and/or toxic for reproduction by Regulation (EC) no 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 Dec. 2008, then c) the recovery of the precipitate thus obtained. The method may be applied to synthesize 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene in which 3,5-dichloroanisole is an intermediate product.
