This paper describes a method for increasing the yield of glycidyl nitrate from chloro-epoxypropane and dilute nitric acid, in the presence of 5-aminotetrazolium nitrate. The presence of 5-aminotetrazolium nitrate as catalyst and co-nitrating agent, enabled glycidyl nitrate to be produced smoothly and in excellent yield under mild condition. The optimal reaction conditions were obtained by the Taguchi method, increasing the yield from 66 to 81%. The product was characterized by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy.
