Abstract:

During this first year of the program, three general synthetic routes to the preparation of energetic oxetanes and tetrahydrofurans were investigated. Efforts to develop a general synthetic route to 3-nitroalkly-substituted oxetanes starting with methylene malonate were not successful. However, one specific oxetane monomer was prepared to provide an immediate subject for polymerization studies. Author
