Possible route to 1,4-Dinitrotetrazol-5-One ?
This post presents synthesis routes to a theoretical compound 1,4-Dinitro-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-one(DNTO). Density, heat of formation, and impact
sensitivity was calculated by various equations from papers Dany sent me. DNTO have the advantages of very high density, oxygen balance, and heat of
formation, while having lower calculated sensitivity than other future oxidizer candidates such as ADN and HNF. DNTO also have 6 catenated nitrogen
chain which have large amount of stored chemical energy for high efficiency propellants. DNTO is expected to provide advantagesover traditional
oxidizers such as ammonium perchlorate, and even the future candidates of oxidizers such as ammonium dinitramide(ADN) and hydrazine nitroformate(HNF).
Tetrazolone was chosen because of its high density, oxygen balance, and the insensitivity of the carbonyl group.
Possible synthesis of DNTO. The route starting from semicarbazide is only guessed, however if possible, would make tetrazolone a very cheap chemical.
Density calculations
The calculated density using molecular fragment method was 2.09g/cm3. Surprised by the high value it gave, a second method for calculating the density
of DNTO was used[4]. The second method gave a density of 2.095 g/cm3 from Mohammad Hossein Keshavarz's equation. (Maximum diviation observed in this
equation is 4.71%. Therefore, the maximum and minimum possible value for the density of this compound will most likely be 2.095 ± 0.099, which is
between 1.996-2.193g/cm3.)[5]
Heat of formation
Heat of formation on DNTO was calculated to be +326kJ/mol. The maximum error found for the used equation is 91kJ/mol[6].
Sensitivity toward external stimuli.
Impact sensitivity of this compound might be very high since it has 6 catenated nitrogen bonds on a tetraozle ring. However, it does include a high
density low energy carbonyl fragment which is insensitive alone and can contribute to overall sensitivity, thermal stability, and density of the
compound[6]. The highly positive oxygen balance might also decrease the impact sensitivity.
The calculated (H50) for DNTO is 20.5cm (5J). However the prediction for sensitivity is hard and the deviation for this equation can be large[7].
Friction sensitivity might be of a problem because most azole energetic compounds are more sensitive to friction than other energetic compound. A
similar structure to DNTO, 1,4,5-triamino-1,2,3,4-tetrazolium cation and its salts are highly sensitive to friction[8]. Problems associated with
friction sensitivity could be solved when mixed with a binder. Finally, since this compound does not have hydrogen at all, it is most likely that DNTO
will not form salts.

You might aswel try via DNU, chlorination then azidation? but no water allowed!
O2N-NH-CO-NH-NO2 + 2 (CH3)3C-O-Cl --> O2N-NCl-CO-NCl-NO2 + 2 (CH3)3C-OH
O2N-NCl-CO-NCl-NO2 + NaN3 --> O2N-N(N3)-CO-N(N3)-NO2 + 2 NaCl
O2N-N(N3)-CO-N(N3)-NO2 --> cyclo (-N(NO2)-CO-N(NO2)-N=N-) + 2 N2(g)
It is also possible you get chain polymer
(-N(NO2)-CO-N(NO2)-N=N-)n + 2 N2
or
(-N(NO2)-CO-N(NO2)-N=N-N=N-)n + N2
or
and (-N(NO2)-CO-N(NO2)-N=N-N=N-N=N-)n
And if you ozonize 1,4-Dinitrotetrazol-5-One you may end up with tetranitrourea (O2N)2N-CO-N(NO2)2 by oxydation of the -N=N-...
No!
All this is pure speculation...Dinitrotetrazolone will be too unstable to exist...too much electron withdrawing group in the vicinity of the two -NO2
will lead them to nitro-nitrite rearrangement and spontaneous decomposition also extreme sensitivity to water!
Good similitudes can be seen in DNU; HNB; Trinitro-sym-triazine; 1,3,5-trinitrobiuret; 2,3,5,6-tetranitro-p-quinone and trinitro-isocyanuric acid
(cyclo(-CO-N(NO2)-)3): this 1,4-dinitrotetrazol-5-one will be really unstable...

DAR,
just a remark for writing scientific numbers. The way you compared the two densities (2.09 and 2.0947 g/cm3) is wrong. the first is to the
second decimal place while the second is for the fourth decimal place. the two number should be at the same decimal place when you compare. Same thing
for putting the error. The error should be to the same decimal place as the number. It is wrong to put 2.0947 ± 0.09866, the density is to the
fourth decimal while the error is to the fifth decimal. Also, don't put density values up to the fourth decimal place, there is no technique that can
measure such indecent accuracy. Values of density to the second or third decimal place is just fine. Finally, try to be homogenous in writing the
numbers in the text, for example all the density should be to the second decimal place. Don't make cocktail of second and third decimal numbers.
Dany.

You basically have an uncertainty of +/- 0.1 g/mL, so report it as 2.1 +/- 0.1 g/mL. If the tenths digit is uncertain, then the hundredths place is
ten times as uncertain, and the thousandths place is fantasy.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

I think going from Urea might be too hard, not saying your guess was impossible. I dont think N-Cl can undergo azadation ? 4 aliphatic Nitrogen, is it
possible ? Might be more un-stable than dinitrotetrazolone.
Also, I do not think 2 azide groups could come together for a tetrazole ring, however, what about inserting the azo bridge into DNU ?
Any ways, I just want to point out that the (O2N)N-CO-N(NO2) is stable. However those NNO2 are joined by -N=N- so It might just be sensitive and not
up to a point to decomposing at rt. The carbon is in-active due to the carbonyl group, the carbonyl group have high heat of formation that give much
less heat than most other carbon linked bonds. Therefore the nitro groups can barely contribute to the overall energy except the bond that connects
the NO2 to tetrazole.
Some good example of a stable struture related to my compound is Trinitro-triazolone, A compound that is nitrated NTO using long or extreme process
such as N2O5. And also HHTDD.
Comparism between DNTO, DTNTO, HHTDD shows possible stability, high density in DNTO.
DNTO also does not contain hydrogen it will most likely not formation of salts/reactivity toward bases/acids.

Alright thanks for that. I will edit my post.
