Despite intensive research for possible replacements, RDX (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane) is still considered to be one of the most important energetic materials because of its versatile application. Due to the high demand for RDX, optimization of synthesis and development of new methods are of great interest to both academia and industry. Therefore, in this work, the synthesis of RDX via the intermediate TRAT (1,3,5-triacetycl-1,3,5-triazinane) was investigated as a possible alternative industrial production method. In addition to the synthesis of TRAT starting from 1,3,5 trioxane, various feasible nitration methods from TRAT to RDX were investigated. Moreover, the suitability for large-scale production, the comparison of already established methods and the feasibility of a new flow process were discussed.

研究通过 1,3,5-三乙酰基-1,3,5-三嗪烷 (TRAT) 合成 RDX 的新工艺

尽管对可能的替代品进行了深入研究，但 RDX（1,3,5-三硝基-1,3,5-三嗪）由于其广泛的应用，仍然被认为是最重要的含能材料之一。由于RDX的高需求，合成优化和新方法的开发引起了学术界和工业界的极大兴趣。因此，在这项工作中，研究了通过中间体TRAT（1,3,5-三乙酰基-1,3,5-三嗪烷）合成RDX作为一种可能的替代工业生产方法。除了从1,3,5三恶烷开始合成TRAT之外，还研究了从TRAT到RDX的各种可行的硝化方法。此外，还讨论了大规模生产的适用性、现有方法的比较以及新流程的可行性。
