Abstract

In order to explore a new route for the synthesis of CL-20, hexaallylhexaazaisowurtzitane was synthesized by condensation reaction of allylamine with aqueous glyoxal without inert gases protection. Its structure was characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. This route has higher yield of 37.1% and easier way than the literature. Hexaallylhexaazaisowurtzitane without benzyl group in the molecule would be a potential nitrolyzable precursor to CL-20.
