Abstract

This paper studies two-step synthetic process of TEX (4, 10-dinitro-2, 6, 8, 12-tetraoxa-4, 10-diazatetracyclo-[5.5.0.0^5,90^3,11]-dodecane) and the effects of key factors on the yield of DFTHP (intermediate) and TEX. The results show that the yield of DFTHP could reach to 68.3% when the adjusted pH value of reaction solution reaches to 9 by saturated NaOH solution. When the volume ratio of fuming HNO₃ to concentrated H₂SO₄ is 3:2, and the ratio of nitrating agent (mL) to DFTHP(g) is 3:1, the yield of TEX raises to 59.7%. The optimized overall yield of TEX obtained from two-step synthetic process could be 40.8%.
