Abstract

Strained polycyclic molecules possessing multiple nitro groups are of particular interest because of there potential use as high-energy density materials. A review of the synthesis of this class of molecules indicates that one of the most successful strategies for the introduction of the nitro group is the oxidation of the corresponding amine precursor. 2 While this strategy has proven effective for isolated amino groups, attempts to extend it to vicinal ...
