Abstract

The present work aims at developing a new process to synthesize HMX from DAPT using ultrasound in ionic liquid. Reaction has been carried out in ultrasonic bath, effect of various parameters such as presence and absence of ultrasound, volume and type of solvent, temperature, concentration of nitrating agent has been investigated with an aim of obtaining the optimum conditions for the synthesis of HMX. It was observed that ultrasonically promoted nitroylsis of DAPT to HMX has exhibited significant enhancement in yield at ambient condition.
