title: Synthesis of Tetrazino-tetrazine 1,3,6,8-Tetraoxide (TTTO).
abstract: This study presents the first synthesis and characterization of a new high energy compound [1,2,3,4]tetrazino[5,6-e][1,2,3,4]tetrazine 1,3,6,8-tetraoxide (TTTO). It was synthesized in ten steps from 2,2-bis(tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy)acetonitrile. The synthetic strategy was based on the sequential closure of two 1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1,3-dioxide rings by the generation of oxodiazonium ions and their intramolecular coupling with tert-butyl-NNO-azoxy groups. The TTTO structure was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray.
