Abstract

A new method for the synthesis of 4,4′,6,6′-tetra(azido)azo-1,3,5-triazine (TAAT) is described. The key intermediate 4,4′,6,6′-tetra(azido)hydrazo-1,3,5-triazine (TAHT) was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution in the case of sodium azide as nucleophile. N-Bromosuccinide (NBS) was used as oxidant to oxidize TAHT by a tractable operation under mild reaction condition. The target compound TAAT was obtained with a facile process and high overall yield of 81%. The structures of TAAT and its intermediates were identified by spectroscopic methods.
