    I. Project Titles and Goals.

    A. Nitramines fro.m Tertian• Mines. Sparse information scat-

    tered throughout the literature was to be organized and a general

    procedure developed.

    B. a-Substituents in Nitramines. An exploratory· survey of

    functional group interchange at the a-position of nitramines was

    undertaken.

    c. Cyclic Nitronic-Carboxylic Acid Anhydrides. Nitro deri-.

    vatives of five- and six-membered ring examples of these rarely

    encountered molecules were sought for evaluation as monomers for

    polymeric binders.

    D. Products from Nitroform and Isocyanides. Further inves-

    tigation on a recently discovered reaction was proposed to evalu-

    ate the potential preparation of energetic materials, e.g.,

    nitromesoionic heterocycles.

    E. Nitrogyrroles. A thorough revi ew of the literature on

    nitropyrroles was undertaken.

    II. Project Summaries.

    A. Nitramines from Tertiary Amines. The nitronium cation

    converted tertiary amines ~ to nitrosamine& ~ which were oxidized

    to nitramines ~. Certain exceptional examples directly gave

    nitramines ~ rather than nitrosamine& i• these correlated with

    the dissociation of a stable carbonium ion, e.g., R3t, rather . than an elimination of nitrous acid from an intermediate quater-

    nary nitrammonium ion ~. The reactions are discussed and

    examples given.

    A. Nitramines from tertiary amman.

    1. Introduction. An efficient conversion of a tertiary

    aliphatic amine I to a dialkylnitrosamine J by treatment with

    nitric acid has been elucidated and developed. When followed by

    4 any of the several known oxidations of nitrosamines an additional

    route to nitramines I became available.

    known example.1-3 In the generally accepted explanation for this

    reaction of a gza-diamine jj a combination with a nitronium

    cation to give initially an N-nitroammonium cation 15 was

    proposed.4 A dissociation then afforded a nitramine I and an

    a-aminocarbenium cation ii. Stability of the cation 1i favored

    this dissociation over other conceivable fates of the cation 15.

    Attempts to extend the nitrolysis reaction to other tertiary

    amines met with minimal success2 except for certain isolated

    examples,3 each of which depended on the breakdown of a nitrammo-

    nium cation into a stable carbenium cation. This was recently

    demonstrated in the nitrolysis of dimethyl tzert-butyl amine 12 to

    dimethyl nitramine 5. (R - C93 ).5 The simultaneous formation of a

    trace amount of tkzl-butylmethylnitrosamine 11 furnished a clue

    for an important alternative breakdown of the nitrammonium cation

    15. This competitive reaction has afforded a general method for

    the conversion of a tertiary aliphatic amine to a dialkylnitros-

    amine.

    method for nitrosamines was brought about by investigating

    Nitronium tetrafluoroborate either in various organic sol-

    vents or in concentrated sulfuric acid efficiently nitrated the

    aromatic rings in amines 22 and 21.10 From the reaction of 23 in

    sulfolane a trace of dimethylnitramine 5 (R = CH3) was also

    detected. As expected, ring nitration was also brought about by

    a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids and by a mix-

    ture of nitric and perchloric acids.

    A mixture of the amine 22, nitric and hydrochloric acids in

    acetic anhydridell brought about the formation of benzylmethylni-

    trosamine 22 and benzaldehyde 21. It was presumed that unde-

    tected formaldehyde accompanied the formation of product 22 and

    that undetected dimethylnitrosamine j (R - CH3) accompanied the

    formation of product 2A. A redox reaction between nitric and

    hydrochloric acids 12 produced dinitrogen trioxide, a nitrosating

    agent for the intermediate formation of the nitrite ester 21.

    Acetyl nitrate13 and nitrite1 4 were probably presentp however,

    their contribution to product formations was not determined.

    D'. Producta from Nitroforn and Isocyanides. The project

    initiated by an undergraduate has been investigated further by

    Dr. Pillai.

    In addition to the sydnone 11 '(Ar - -P-02NC6 85) the reaction

    between p-nitrophenyl isocyanide and nitroform also produced

    P-nitroaniline ..

    AriLC HC(N02)3 pON 6 1 H

    Ar - -P-02NC6 H4 A

    The similar reaction with p-tolyl isocyanide gave,-the syd-

    none U (Ar - P-li3CC6H5) (needs to be confirmed) and 2-ni-

    tro-4-methylanil inc.NH
