Abstract

ABSTRACT As part of our investigation into the process optimization of 2,6‐diaminopyrazine‐1‐oxide (DAPO), small‐scale sensitivity testing (impact, friction, and ESD) was conducted on the precursor, N ‐nitroso‐bis(cyanomethyl)amine (NBCMA). NBCMA exhibited moderate sensitivity to friction, whereas no sensitivity to impact or spark was observed.
