Iv. Ovchinnikov et al., NITROFORMONITRILE OXIDE .2. GENERATION OF NITROFORMONITRILE OXIDE AS AN INTERMEDIATE FOR THE PREPARATION OF DINITROFUROXAN, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(4), 1995, pp. 702-706
Two methods for the generation of nitroformonitrile oxide (NFNO) were
proposed, namely, by dehydration of dinitromethane and by nitration of
2-methyl-1-nitro-1-propene. NFNO was identified as its cyclodimerizat
ion product, dinitrofuroxan.
