The nitrolysis of hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine, HA) and 1,3,5‐trioxane was studied by NMR spectrometry. It was found that the structure of the nitrolysis products of the trioxane could be monomethylenedinitrate, dioxymethylenenitronitrate and trioxymethylenenitronitrate, O 2 N(OCH 2 ) n ONO 2 (n = 1,2,3). Comparison of the 1 H and 13 C spectra of the nitrolysis mixture of HA with the nitrolysis products of trioxane proved that in the nitrolysis mixture of HA the methylene group which cannot be used to form 1,3,5‐triazacyclohexane (hexogen, RDX)appears in compound (2) and not in compound (1) .
