Abstract
Abstract Tris(polynitroalkoxy)chloromethanes (chloroorthoformates), a new class of compounds, are prepared by the chlorination of tris(polynitroalkoxy)methyl disulfides. The chloroorthoformates are reactive intermediates, which with alcohols give mixed 1:3 and 1:1:2 orthocarbonates. Additional derivatives are obtained with nucleophiles such as F−, N3 −, CN−, and 2-imidazolidone.
