Synthesis and characterization of 1,3,5-tris((1/2H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl)-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-trione

2,2′,2″-(2,4,6-Trioxo-1,3,5-triazinane-1,3,5-triyl) triacetonitrile (or tris-(cyanomethyl)-isocyanurate) and 1,3,5-tris((1/2H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl)-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-trione (or tris-(5-tetrazolylmethyl)-isocyanurate) were synthesized with new methods. High yields, simple methodology, and cheapness are advantages of the methods. Furthermore, 1,3,5-tris((1/2H-tetrazol-5-yl)methyl)-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-trione was synthesized in the less hazardous condition. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹HNMR, ¹³CNMR and mass spectroscopic analysis. In addition, DSC/TGA measurements were carried out to determine the thermal behavior of the final product.
