Abstract
AbstractTert-butyl 2,2-bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethanoate was prepared from the ethanolic solution of 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, tert-butyl 3-oxobutanoate and triethylamine. Acetyl group in tert-butyl 3-oxobutanoate has cleaved off during the formation of the title molecule. UV–VIS, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Proton–Proton COSY data and single crystal XRD results support the proposed structure. Flammability test, impact sensitivity test and TG/DTA studies at different heating rates on the synthesized molecule imply that it is an insensitive high energy density material.Graphical AbstractArticle covers synthetic method, spectral characterization, crystal structure and thermal behavior of tert-butyl 2,2-bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)ethanoate .
