Synthesis and Characterization of New Energetic Compound (5-Amino-Tetrazol-1-yl)-Acetic Acid 2,2-Dinitro-Propyl Ester

Aminotetrazoles are derivatives of the tetrazole with unique properties. Although they have high heat of formation, but they show very high thermal stability. Aminotetrazoles have high nitrogen content among organic compounds and are very suitable in Propellant, gas generator and explosive formulation. In this paper, a new energetic and stable compound (5-Amino-tetrazol-1-yl)-acetic acid 2,2-dinitro-propyl ester that has a ring of tetrazole, was synthesized by esterification reaction with energetic alcohol 2,2-dinitro-propanol (in order to ncreasing energy and Performance), this compound has 36% N and 859 gr/J enthapy of decomposition and identified with IR and NMR techniques also, the thermal behavior of this compound was studied with DSC technique.
