Has anybody ever tried oxidizing nitroso R salt with oxone with or without the presence of acetone? This seems to be the miracle oxidant for most
things.

R-salt as reagent for nitrosation of hydrazine?
Today I have been wondering what may be the result of reacting R-salt with hydrazine. Nitrosamines can react with hydrazine to form the azide group
or free hydrazoic acid.
For example diphenylnitrosamine reacts with hydrazine in the presnce of sodium hydroxide to form sodium azide while the reacting nitrosamine precursor
is reduced to the amine. The scenario is one where the nitrosamine acts as a reagent for nitrosation or diazotization. I have speculated before that
R-salt may have usefulness as a reagent for nitrosation and it could possibly work for such purpose. See attached patent DE273667 for reference for
the diphenylnitrosamine reaction with hydrazine.

@ Rosco
What an interesting idea, I have a try at this one when I get home. The result I guess would be 1 mole of triazine and 3 of sodium azide per mole of
CTMTNA. I'll translate the patent tonight if I get time it's only 2 pages, I'm working on the Curtis paper from the azide thread at present but
25pages is heavy going. The advantage of diphenylamine appears to be it ease of recycling, I'm not sure that this nitroso compound will be recyclable
though its easy enough to prepare from hexamine.

Yeah that is how I see it, one mole of R-salt should do the same nitrosation as would require 3 moles of diphenylnitrosamine, for having 3 nitrosamine
groups on the R-salt compared to the 1 of diphenylnitrosamine.
It is intriguing what may result and I can find nothing instructional in the literature. It would seem on first glance that the R-salt would simply
be reduced to hexamine from which it came, and that would be the byproduct of using R-salt as a nitrosating agent for the hydrazine. I would amend
that first impression after reviewing the structure, and seeing that it will not occur that hexamine will be the byproduct because the original
hexamine structure was lost in the synthesis of the trimethylene structure of R-salt. The likely byproduct of nitrosation would seem to be probable
trimethylenetriamine. Not being sure what would be the hydrolytic stability of the R-salt, nor knowing what the kinetics would be, it could be a
"dump in a lump" scenario for the addition of the R-salt, or incremental addition where one would work better or equally well being an unknown.
Also there is the matter of the R-salt decomposition trimethylenetriamine byproduct being separated or decomposed or perhaps just left in solution, it
would depend upon what is intended later for isolation of the ultimate intended product. It just seemed like a possible good candidate for an aqueous
reaction system which could produce a decent yield of azide.
I have attached a fair amount of documents into the azide thread recently, and I am still reading and requesting yet other references and abstracts.
Thanks for any help with insight from the translations of especailly interesting parts. Azides are a bit of very interesting chemistry which overlaps
the inorganic and organic realm.
Analogously the R-salt may also serve to nitrosate hydrazodicarbonamide (biurea) which should have some solubility in alkaline solution.
Similarly R-salt may nitrosate acetone azine or methyl ethyl ketazine in aqueous alkaline solution.
Possible experiments here  I think 'em up don't I ?

Yep, Iève been thinking about this too and I think you are right about the hydrolytic stability of the byproduct cyclo-trimethylenetriamine. It is
likely to break down into formaldehyde and ammonia both of which are volatile and would be removed with the alcohol (and then recombine to form
hexamine and excess ammonia) leaving behind relatively pure sodium azide. Mmmmmm sound too good to be true(!) but certainly worth trying. I wonder if
dimethylnitrosamine would work? then the freed amine would certainly be volatile with the alcohol.
Here's the translation of Staudinger's patent (btw where did the number DExxx come from? The pat number in the document is different.

DE205683 is the Stolle azide patent that DerAlte and I have already translated, so you got your wires crossed there. The Staudinger patent above is
the nitrosamine plus hydrazine related patent DE273667 also same on the patent.
Staudinger is simply referencing the earlier Stolle patent as prior art. So there's your confusion. Just edit the main number to DE273667.
Thanks Boffis for translation of the patent. I changed the formatting slightly to fit it on a single page and made a pdf for it too. (attached)
Urbanski 3 has a writeup on R-salt that provides useful information about the hydrolytic properties (attached)
The Bachmann and Deno JACS article also mentioned earlier in the thread is attached
Here also is an R-salt synthesis which I am not certain but I don't recall being posted before. From Journal of the Chemical Society 1889

Does anyone happen to know the approximate "self-life" of stabilized R-salt? If not can anyone lead me in the right direction to calculating it?

IIRC, R-Salt can have a stabilizing effect on nitric esters (nitrated polyols).
Would like to confirm that, will come back with sources once I find them, if no one beats me to the punch.
EDIT: Relavent quote found, as suspected, Rosco himself!
Quote: Originally posted by Rosco Bodine  | From the information in the Bachmann & Deno article it appears that use of acetic acid takes the pH too far in the wrong direction for R-salt and
leads instead to the DPT material which is primarily useful as a precursor for HMX . The DPT is obtained in better yield more cheaply by simply using
less HCl to raise the pH of the
reaction mixture , so acetic acid offers no advantage .
PATR states that a mixture of R-salt and NG kept at 90C for 5 days showed no apparent decomposition ? Possibly a misprint , because that would seem
to indicate stabilizing properties for R-salt towards nitroesters which if true is very interesting . If this is general , R-salt could possibly have
value as an energetic stabilizer as well as filler for ETN melt and other low melting compositions , and possible usefulness in many other nitroester
containing compositions . |

That information was from PATR and identified as a possible error / misprint. I never tested the reported R-salt use as a stabilizer or looked into
further. That reference was something that was referencing a possible anomaly where the R-salt would be acting as the stabilizer, or there could be a
reciprocal stabilizing effect, but I never found anything further about that or determined by any experiments if it is even true or is a misprint. I
remain skeptical and would guess it is probably a misprint.

Sorry about that. I'm curious on what the general "Shelf-life" of r-salt is.

Washed only material turned to something like hexamine after 1 year of room temperature storage and some time at elevated temperatures. Also, I've
heard it's difficult to set off generally, so it's not a good cap basecharge option.

Regarding the stability of this compound, I have just come across the jar of recrystallised material figured in my post above and the beautiful yellow
crystals are in apparently perfect condition with no signs of degradation. So it would appear that properly purified and stored in a cool dry place in
a tightly closed jar it is certainly stable for at least 8 years.

Has anyone had success oxidizing TMTN to RDX?
I have tried:
Acetic Acid/Sodium Perborate
Fail-
No reaction
Acetic Acid/Ammonium Nitrate
Success?
foam volcano @70C after about 45m-1Hr, Solution changes color from lemon to white, no yield on crashing with water.
H2SO4/AN
Fail-
Instant decomposition
Acetic Acid/H20/H2SO4/AN
Success-
Solution foams turns color from lemon to white temp rises to ~70C and releases white fumes RDX (what I assume) appears to come out of solution even in
acid but on crashing with water, very little product.
Literature claims AN/H2SO4. I have trouble believing that. Has anyone successfully converted TMTN to RDX? Also, while Im in this thread, has anyone
made RDX from DPT? DNPT is much higher yielding from nitrosation of hexamine in acetic acid than is TMTN. I'm curious if a high yield RDX or HMX could
come from DNPT>oxidize to DPT>Nitration via WFNA to RDX/HMX. Of course that would hinge on first finding out how to properly oxidize TMTN or
DNPT, which is proving difficult.

I think you should use nitric acid alone to oxidize it.

Nitric Acid does oxidize r-salt to rdx, according to Lawrence Livermore analytical RDX procedure with H2O2. However, nitric acid can simply form RDX
instead of R-Salt route. I have read many assumptions that R salt can simply "be oxidized" to RDX, but I get the impression some of this may be
speculation. I would enjoy synthesizing RDX in lower yield via TMTN foregoing the reliance of nitric acid.
There are a couple more routes, but they are getting whacky now that the conventional oxidization methods failed.
1) Electrolytic oxidation in ammonium sulfate bath (works very well with NQ reduction to amino guanidine with simple lead anode.)
2) Bubbling ozone through r salt solution
3) oxone (would like to avoid)
4) peroxy-nitrite from NaNO2, HCl, perborate or percarbonate
Literature also claims AN/H2SO4 will oxidize R Salt to RDX but I have not had success. I am curious if *ANYONE from SM has had success with ANY
method?
