Abstract

(3,3,5,5-Tetranitropiperidin-1-yl)acetic acid is a novel and economical precursor for 1,3,3,5,5-pentanitropiperidine. Treatment of 2,2-dinitropropane-1,3-diol with glycine in water at 65-70 ˚C for five hours gave (3,3,5,5-tetranitropiperidin-1-yl)acetic acid in 52% isolated yield. Nitration of the latter in a mixture of 100% nitric acid and trifluoroacetic anhydride for 12 hours gave 1,3,3,5,5-pentanitropiperidine in essentially quantitative yield. (3,3,5,5-Tetranitropiperidin-1-yl)acetic acid and 1,3,3,5,5-pentanitropiperidine were fully characterized by means of IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ¹5N) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and elemental analysis.
