Investigation of a new promising process for the RDX synthesis <i>via</i> 1,3,5‐triacetyl‐1,3,5‐triazinane (TRAT)

Despite intensive research for possible replacements, RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane) is still considered to be one of the most important energetic materials because its versatile application. Due high demand RDX, optimization synthesis and development new methods are great interest both academia industry. Therefore, in this work, via intermediate TRAT (1,3,5-triacetycl-1,3,5-triazinane) was investigated as a alternative industrial production method. In addition starting from 1,3,5 trioxane, various feasible nitration were investigated. Moreover, suitability large-scale production, comparison already established feasibility flow process discussed.
