Abstract Because of its reactivity, malonic acid diamide (1) was initially identified as an alternative precursor for the development of a new class of high‐density insensitive energetic materials possessing low sensitivity to thermal decomposition and detonation by impact. Nitration of 1 was studied under different conditions and led to three different tautomeric forms (2–4) of nitromalonic acid diamine. Using stronger oxidation conditions the oxadiazole 5 was generated in one step. We report the full 1 H, 13 C and 15 N NMR structural characterization of these compounds in DMSO together with thermal, infrared, mass spectrometric and x‐ray analysis. Experimental data obtained for 4 are compatible with an enol‐imine form. Our interpretation is consistent with calculated 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra (ACD). Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
