Abstract

Recent investigations in this laboratory concerning structure-physical property relationships of nitroaliphatic and fluoronitroaliphatic compounds generated a need for the bistrinitroethyl and bisfluorodinitroethyl esters of a homologous series of dibasic acids. Furthermore, we desired to obtain certain of these esters in rather large quantities for testing of explosive properties.
