Nitration of 7-substituted 1,3,5-triaza-adamantanes
Abstract
Nitrations of some 7-substituted 1,3,5-triaza-adamantanes with various nitrating mixtures are described. The products are in general NN′-dinitro-1,3-diazacyclohexane derivatives. The mechanism of the reactions is similar to that suggested for the nitration of hexamine with nitric acid.
