Does this reaction scheme seem pluasible ?
Such an interesting structure , I can't help thinking that TAED
could have energetic potential. Previously cited here _

More desirable than plausible, I think . . .
Wouldn't HNO3 be more likely to vigorously attack the acetate groups than replace them with NO2s?
Of course, if that target compound existed - it would be a pretty potent oxidiser.

Any chemists care to venture an opinion on this idea ?
Can cyanuric triazide add dinitrogen tetroxide forming , 2,4,6-triazidohexanitrotriazine
I did the math on this , projected density is 1.87
Velocity of detonation ~ 8500 ,
pressure ~ 310 Kilobars

The proposed reaction looks highly unfavorable for two reasons:
-you're breaking the conjugation (resonance) in the starting material without reforming it, which (assuming its bond strength is similar to benzene),
is ~35 kcal/mol of energy.
-your product is sterically congested.
There may be ways to make this reaction favorable, but I don't expect dinitrogen tetroxide to simply add to the ring in the proposed way.
