Abstract:
A one-pot process for preparing ammonium and hydroxylammonium salts of bis 5,5′-tetrazole-1,1′-dihydroxide, specifically, diammonium bis 5,5′-tetrazole-1,1′-diolate (ABTOX) and dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (TKX-50). The process requires the reaction of sodium azide, dichloroglyoxime, HCl in dioxane solution to form bis 5,5′-tetrazole-1,1′-dihydroxide and treating this product with either ammonium chloride to produce ABTOX or hydroxylamine hydrochloride to produce TKX-50.
