Abstract
Exploiting novel fused cyclic frameworks through simple and efficient methods has provided a blueprint for developing advanced explosives. In this study, six new [5,6,5]-tricyclic fused energetic compounds ( I – VI ) were synthesized through an intramolecular cyclization strategy involving a C-NH 2 directed cyclization reaction. The work not only boosts the development of fused cyclic energetic compounds but also highlights their potential applications as secondary or heat-resistant explosives.
