Disclosed is a method for the nitration of 4,6-dihydroxy-2-methylpyrimidine for the synthesis of 4,6-dihydroxy-5,5-dinitro-2-(dinitromethylene)-2,5-dihydropyrimidine which is used as a precursor of 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene, one type of explosives. The present invention provides an improved method for the nitration of 4,6-dihydroxy-2-methylpyrimidine, wherein organic solvent is applied in the nitration process of 4,6-dihydroxy-2-methylpyrimidine thereby solving the safety problem while improving the yield of nitration.

A synthesis of an energetic prepolymer used as a high-energy binder for an insensitive and high performance explosive is disclosed. More specifically, provided are a novel compound 2-nitratoethyl oxirane expressed by formula III, a novel compound poly(2-nitratoethyl oxirane) expressed by formula IV, obtained by polymerization of 2-nitratoethyl oxirane used as a monomer and a preparation method thereof. The compound, used as an energetic prepolymer and a monomer for preparation thereof can substitute for existing poly(glycidyl nitrate) (PGN) which has been known to be a promising one having the best performance among existing energetic prepolymers, but which has a problem to be self-decomposed after synthesis of polyurethane elastomer, to solve this problem. 

2-Nitratoethyl oxirane, poly (2-nitratoethyl oxirane) and preparation method thereof

Disclosed are novel compounds that can be used as an energetic binder used for improving the performance and the properties of a high explosive, and a preparation method thereof. More specifically, provided are glycidyl dinitropropyl formal of chemical formula IV having a nitro group (&#x2014;NO) as an energy group and having no hydrogen bonding to carbon to which the nitro group is binding, poly(glycidyl dinitropropyl formal) of chemical formula V polymerized using the glycidyl dinitropropyl formal as a monomer, and a preparation method thereof.

Glycidyl dinitropropyl formal, poly(glycidyl dinitropropyl formal) and preparation method thereof

Disclosed is a preparation method of 2,2&prime;-bi-1H-imidazole using glyoxal and an ammonium salt as starting materials through a safe, simple and easily controlled synthetic process with a high yield.

Preparation method of 2,2'-bi-1H-imidazole using glyoxal and an ammonium salt

Disclosed are glycidyl di-nitropropyl carbonate and poly(glycidyl di-nitropropyl carbonate) which is prepolymer used as an energetic binder for an insensitive and high performance explosive. The present invention introduces the nitro group instead of the nitrate group, thereby enabling to provide the prepolymer having the high thermal stability (thermal decomposition initiating temperature of at least 200&deg; C. or higher) more excellent than that of the conventional energy binder.

Energetic plasticizer comprising eutetic mixture of bis (2,2-dinitropropyl) formal, 2,2-dinitropropyl 2,2-dinitrobutyl formal and bis (2,2-dinitrobutyl) formal, and preparation method thereof

The present invention provides an energetic plasticizer comprising bis(2,2-dinitropropyl) formal and a material that keeps bis(2,2-dinitropropyl) formal from crystallizing out, wherein the material that keeps bis(2,2-dinitropropyl) formal from crystallizing out is bis(2,2-dinitropropyl) diformal. In case where BDNPDF is used to prevent BDNPF from crystallizing out, BDNPF is not crystallized even though it stands at the temperature &minus;20&deg; C. for more than 6 months, while its thermal and chemical properties are similar to that of conventional plasticizers. Also, by using BDNPDF, that has been considered as a unfavorable side product, as an inhibitor of crystallization, no additional process is required to remove BDNPDF. Moreover, the cost involved is lower.
