Abstract:
The initial step in the thermal decomposition of methylenedioxyamine diperchlorate occurs at 60 C with the loss of a perchloric acid group to form the monoacid salt as an intermediate. As the temperature increases, the latter undergoes a concerted cyclization - cleavage reaction to form formamide and hydroxylammonium perchlorate. Mass spectrometry was used to formulate a working hypothesis for the decomposition. The existence of each of the postulated intermediates in the reaction was verified by independent experiments.
