Iv. Ovchinnikov et al., GENERATION OF NITRO FORMONITRILE OXIDE AS AN INTERMEDIATE FOR THE PREPARATION OF DINITROFUROXAN, Mendeleev communications, (5), 1993, pp. 210-211
Two methods for the generation of nitro formonitrile oxide (NFNO) have
been proposed: dehydration of dinitromethane and nitration of 1-nitro
-2-methylprop-1-ene; NFNO has been identified in the form of its cyclo
dimerization product, dinitrofuroxan (DNFO).
