A process for preparing 2,4-dinitro-2,4-diazapentane by n (1) nitrating dimethylurea to form dimethyldinitrourea; n (2) hydrolyzing the dimethyldinitrourea to form methylnitramine; n (3) reacting one mole of methylamine with one mole of formaldehyde in aqus solution to form 2-nitro-2-aza-1-propanol; and n (4) reaction one mole of methylnitramine with each mole of 2-nitro-2-aza-1-propanol to form one mole of 2,4-dinitro-2,4-diazapentane. |
