radical-bromination of RDX
I´d like to try this next we, i have an idea on how to do it, but its fairly vague.
These are the limits of my equipment:
KBr instead of Br2.
available solvents: acetone, HAc, eventually chloroform
HLR

2KBr + Cl2 ---> 2KCl + Br2
Cheap, easy, fast, high-yielding only trouble is Cl2 combination.
Just hope it's selective enough towards bromination 
Or:
2KBr + 2H2SO4 ---> Br2 + SO2 + 2H2O + K2SO4
Separating Br2 and SO2 shouldn't be as difficult.
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.
