Abstract

1-(2-Nitratoethyl)-5-nitriminotetrazole (2) was formed by the reaction of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl-5- aminotetrazole (1) and 100% HNO3. Compound 1 was obtained by alkylation of 5-amino-1H- tetrazole. Next to the known byproduct 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-nitriminotetrazole (3), a second one, 1-(2-nitratoethyl)-5-aminotetrazolium nitrate (4) was obtained and fully characterized. Nitrogen-rich salts such as the ammonium (5), hydroxylammonium (6), guanidinium (7), ...
