Synthesis of 2,4,6-tris(2,2,2-trinitroethylnitramino)-1,3,5-triazine

An alternative procedure for synthesizing 2,4,6-tris(2,2,2-trinitroethylamino)-1,3,5-triazine was developed. Nitration of this compound gave hitherto unknown 2,4,6-tris(2,2,2-trinitroethylnitramino)-1,3,5-triazine, which is of interest as potential component of solid rocket fuel compositions.
