3‐Amino‐5nitro‐1,2,4‐triazole(ANTA) was prepared and evaluated in terms of insensitivity and performance. The material is very insensitive to impact and moderately so to thermal stimuli. Performance was found to be inferior to 1,3,5‐triamino‐2,4,6‐trinitrobenzene (TATB). The best synthesis of ANTA is a three‐step route using commercially available 3,5‐diamino‐1,2,4‐triazole.
