Synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrazino[5,6-g]benzo-1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3,7,9-tetraoxides

1,2,3,4-Tetrazino5,6-g]benzo-1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3,7,9-tetraoxides, which possess an-thracene-type annulation of the benzene ring with two 1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3-dioxide fragments, were obtained for the first time from aminobenzenes containing tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy groups in appropriate positions. Complete assignments of the signals in the ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁴N NMR spectra of the compounds obtained were carried out. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
