Abstract

A highly efficient 2-step method was developed as an environmentally benign process for the synthesis of N-methyltetranitropyrrole (1) employing metal nitrate/conc. sulphuric acid as nitrating reagent. This method resulted 1 in high purity having higher thermal stability along with reduced sensitivity, which makes it a versatile high energy material. An over-oxidized high energy product was also isolated during optimization
