Abstract
When hexamethylenetetramine is nitrolyzed with nitric acid and an anhydride in absence of ammonium nitrate the synthesis of cyclic nitramines is decreased and the yields of esterified linear tetramethylenetrinitramines are increased. The two remaining carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom in hexamine can be accounted as esterified dimethylolnitramide. The isolation of a trace of linear pentamethylenetetranitramine from a normal nitrolysis of hexamethylenetetramine shows that in all of these reactions a common intermediate, dimethylolaminomethyldinitrotriazacyclohexane, must be present. This has never been isolated, but its reactions can be deduced from the behavior of methylene-bis-3,5-dinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane.
