Abstract

Benzo-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrazine-1, 3-dioxide was synthesized from 2-bromonitrobenzene, which is converted to 2-bromo-1-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy) benzene by a three-step standem reaction. Amination of 2-bromo-1-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy) benzene with aqueous ammonia using Cu2O as the catalyst yielded 2-amino-1-(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy) benzene, that was cyclized with nitration agents N2O5 or NO2BF4 to give benzo-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrazine-1, 3-dioxide. A mild and convenient route was developed. Moreover, the target compound was identified by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MS-EI and elemental analysis.
