Dinitramide and its salts

A strategy of organic synthesis has been developed for a new class of inorganic compounds,viz., dinitramide and its metal, ammonium, and substituted ammonium salts. The basic concepts have been tested in model reactions of -substituted derivatives ofN-alkyl-N-nitrotoluenesulfonamides with bases and have been confirmed by the decyanoethylation ofN,N-dmitro--aminopropionitrile taken as an example.In the communications of this series, we are going to report the results of work on dinitramide carried out in 1970–1980 that could not be published previously. The synthesis of dinitramide salts was first published in the patent literature in 1992. 1,2Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 94–97, January, 1994.
