Abstract

Tetraacetylhexaazaisowurtzitane (TAIW), the precursor to CL-20, was condensed with formaldehyde, acetaldehyde or chloroacetaldehyde, and three new isowurtzitane derivatives, 3, 5, 9, 11-tetraacetyl-14-oxo-1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11-hexaazapentaacyclo-[5.5.3.02,6. 04,1008,12] pentadecane, 13, 15-dimethyl-3, 5, 9, 11-tetraacetyl-14-oxo-1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11-hexaazapentaacyclo [5.5.3.02,6. 04-1008,12] pentadecane and 13, 15-dichloromethyl-3, 5, 9, 11-tetraacetyl-14-oxo-1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11-hexaazapentaacyclo [5.5.3.02,6. 04,1008,12] pentadecane, were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS. The results show that characteristics of the proton spectra of this new type caged compound are two signals at δ=6.2 and 5.4 in a 2:1 ratio. The three new compounds may be used as potential precursors of new energetic materials.
