A couple of minutes to google "bachmann process" and sciencemadness.org finds several threads related to Bachmann, RDX and HMX synhesis.

Since you didn't bother to do that, I'm putting this into beginnings for now.

I suggest you start with some easier energetics and get some experience with those first.
But you maybe already have experience in making and handling energetics.
With the high power energetics you only make a mistake once.

It is not that I am making high explosives for the first time. I have made Nitroglycerin, picric acid and PETN before.
And now I want why not try RDX.
