Research abstract
Preparation of caged nitramines has led to significant research aimed at converting these precursors into compounds of interests such as CL-20. This unique ability highlights the fine balance required from electronic and steric contributions in the formation of the cage structure. We propose to develop a low-cost alternative synthesis of CL-20 based on gaining insight as to the nature of this fine balance.
