Abstract
Given its role as a pivotal intermediate in octogen production, the thermal safety of DPT is of paramount importance due to its significant thermal hazard. To assess the potential thermal hazard associated with its decomposition, a nonisothermal DSC experiment and an ARC test were conducted. For the acquisition of more precise thermal decomposition kinetic parameters, the impact of various crucible types on the experimental outcomes was scrutinized. The DSC results indicate that the precise thermal decomposition process of DPT, an autocatalytic decomposition material, can be accurately ascertained by using a high-pressure sealed crucible test. The authentic thermal decomposition process of DPT encompasses two critical reactions: the decomposition of DPT itself and the secondary reaction and decomposition of its byproducts. A robust thermal decomposition kinetic model was established, integrating the findings from the DSC test results. Subsequently, the risk of thermal explosion during DPT storage was simulated by using a kinetic numerical simulation approach.

Molecules 2024; 29:2680. [PMID: 38893555 PMCID: PMC11173555 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29112680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, various kinds of civil explosive detonation accidents have occurred frequently around the world, resulting in substantial human casualties and significant property losses. It is generally believed that thermal stimulation plays a critical role in triggering the detonation of explosives; consequently, the study of the thermal hazards of explosives is of great significance to many aspects of safety emergency management practices in the production, transportation, storage, and use of explosives. It is known that the thermal stability of the ammonium perchlorate-aluminium system and the ammonium nitrate-aluminium system has been extensively investigated previously in the literature. However, there is a paucity of research on the thermal hazard characteristics of non-ideal explosives under varying oxygen balance conditions within the academic sphere. Therefore, this research focused on the study of the thermal hazards of non-ideal explosives based on thermokinetic analysis. The thermal hazards of non-ideal explosive mixtures of ammonium perchlorate and aluminium and of ammonium nitrate and aluminium were studied by thermal analysis kinetics. The thermokinetic parameters were meticulously studied through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The results showed that the peak reaction temperature and activation energy of the ammonium perchlorate-aluminium system were significantly higher than those of the ammonium nitrate-aluminium system. Under the condition of zero oxygen balance, the peak reaction temperature of the ammonium nitrate-aluminium system was 259 °C (heating rate 5 °C/min), and the activation energy was 84.7 kJ/mol. Under the same conditions, the peak reaction temperature and activation energy of the ammonium perchlorate-aluminium system were 292 °C (heating rate 5 °C/min) and 94.9 kJ/mol, respectively. These results indicate that the ammonium perchlorate-aluminium system has higher safety under the same thermal stimulation conditions. Furthermore, research on both non-ideal explosive systems reveals that the activation energy is at its peak under negative oxygen balance conditions, recorded at 104.2 kJ/mol (ammonium perchlorate-aluminium) and 86.2 kJ/mol (ammonium nitrate-aluminium), which indicates a higher degree of safety. Therefore, the investigation into the thermal hazards of non-ideal explosive systems under different oxygen balance conditions is of utmost importance for the enhancement and improvement of safety emergency management practices.

Abstract
This review summarizes the structural and synthetic aspects of heterocyclic molecules incorporating an atom of a hypervalent main-group element. The term "hypervalent" has been suggested for derivatives of main-group elements with more than eight valence electrons, and the concept of hypervalency is commonly used despite some criticism from theoretical chemists. The significantly higher thermal stability of hypervalent heterocycles compared to their acyclic analogs adds special features to their chemistry, particularly for bromine and iodine. Heterocyclic compounds of elements with double bonds are not categorized as hypervalent molecules owing to the zwitterionic nature of these bonds, resulting in the conventional 8-electron species. This review is focused on hypervalent heterocyclic derivatives of nonmetal main-group elements, such as boron, silicon, nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, bromine, chlorine, iodine(III) and iodine(V).

Abstract
Due to the advantage of the hydrogen bond system formed by nitroamino isomerization, by the calculations of hydrogen transfer in reported nitroamino explosives, the proton transport dynamics was first proposed to predict the nitroamino isomerization of energetic materials. With the calculated results of zero-point energy, the full-nitroamino fused energetic materials, 2,4-nitroamino-7-nitroimino-1,5-dihydro-4H-imidazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine (FNPI-1) and 2,2',7,7'-tetranitromino-4,4'-azo-imidazolo[4,5-d]pyridazine (FNPI-2) were designed and successfully synthesized. The highly selective nitroamino isomerization of neutral compound FNPI-1 is shown by X-ray diffraction. After the hydrogen transfer occurs, the intermolecular hydrogen bonds will greatly promote tight stacking, which enhances the density and thus a series of comprehensive properties of energetic materials. The theoretical calculations of zero-point energy explain perfectly the selectivity of hydrogen transfer between the nitroamino groups and the fused-ring skeleton for FNPI-1. The hydrogen atom transfer and selective isomerization of nitroamino energetic materials can be accurately predicted following proton transport dynamics, which provides computational bases and new ideas for the efficient design of fully nitroamino-based explosives.

Abstract
Owing to their participation in Click reactions, bifunctional azides are valuable intermediates in the preparation of medicines and biochemical tool compounds. Despite the privileged nature of pyridines among pharmaceutical scaffolds, reports of the synthesis and characterization of azidopyridines bearing a halogen substituent for further elaboration are almost completely unknown in the literature. As azidopyridines carry nearly equal numbers of nitrogen and carbon atoms, we hypothesized that safety concerns limited the application of these useful bifunctional building blocks in medicinal and biological chemistry. To address this concern, we prepared and characterized nine azidopyridines bearing a single fluorine, chlorine, or bromine atom. All were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in which they demonstrated exotherms of 228-326 kJ/mol and onset temperatures between 119 and 135 °C. Selected azidopyridines were advanced to mechanical stress testing, in which impact sensitivity was noted for one regioisomer of C5H3FN4. The utility of these versatile intermediates was demonstrated through their use in a variety of Click reactions and the diversification of the halogen handles.

Abstract
Diazirine reagents allow for the ready generation of carbenes upon photochemical, thermal, or electrical stimulation. Because carbenes formed in this way can undergo rapid insertion into any nearby C-H, O-H or N-H bond, molecules that encode diazirine functions have emerged as privileged tools in applications ranging from biological target identification and proteomics through to polymer crosslinking and adhesion. Here we use a combination of experimental and computational methods to complete the first comprehensive survey of diazirine structure-function relationships, with a particular focus on thermal activation methods. We reveal a striking ability to vary the activation energy and activation temperature of aryl diazirines through the rational manipulation of electronic properties. Significantly, we show that electron-rich diazirines have greatly enhanced efficacy toward C-H insertion, under both thermal and photochemical activation conditions. We expect these results to lead to significant improvements in diazirine-based chemical probes and polymer crosslinkers.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry represents a class of high-yielding chemical reactions that proceed rapidly and selectively in biological environments without side reactions towards endogenous functional groups. Rooted in the principles of physical organic chemistry, bioorthogonal reactions are intrinsically selective transformations not commonly found in biology. Key reactions include native chemical ligation and the Staudinger ligation, copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, strain-promoted [3 + 2] reactions, tetrazine ligation, metal-catalysed coupling reactions, oxime and hydrazone ligations as well as photoinducible bioorthogonal reactions. Bioorthogonal chemistry has significant overlap with the broader field of 'click chemistry' - high-yielding reactions that are wide in scope and simple to perform, as recently exemplified by sulfuryl fluoride exchange chemistry. The underlying mechanisms of these transformations and their optimal conditions are described in this Primer, followed by discussion of how bioorthogonal chemistry has become essential to the fields of biomedical imaging, medicinal chemistry, protein synthesis, polymer science, materials science and surface science. The applications of bioorthogonal chemistry are diverse and include genetic code expansion and metabolic engineering, drug target identification, antibody-drug conjugation and drug delivery. This Primer describes standards for reproducibility and data deposition, outlines how current limitations are driving new research directions and discusses new opportunities for applying bioorthogonal chemistry to emerging problems in biology and biomedicine.

Abstract
The effect of alkylation on the terminal position of aryl and heteroaryl hydrazines in the Fischer indole synthesis was examined. Compared to their unalkylated counterparts, reactions using alkylated hydrazines provided indole products with higher yields and faster rates. The reactions can be conducted at lower temperatures and are compatible with acid-sensitive functionality. The terminally alkylated hydrazines were readily prepared by a new two-step sequence and held as stable hydrazinium salts. The mild formation of the salts along with the favorable Fischer indole reaction conditions highlights the potential of this approach in later-stage synthetic use.
