Triple aminoalkylation of nitromethane with formaldehyde and tert‐butylamine resulted in a cyclic Mannich base, the nitrolysis of which gave 1,3,5‐trinitro‐hexahydropyrimidine. Hydroxymethylation and subsequent nitration converted it to 5‐nitroxymethyl‐1,3,5‐trinitro‐hexahydropyrimidine. Both compounds exhibit pronounced explosive properties.
