The diazophenols 3‐amino‐6‐diazo‐2, 4‐dinitrophenol ( 4 ) and 3‐chloro‐6‐diazo‐2, 5‐dinitrophenol ( 8 ) were synthesized and comprehensively characterized. The regio‐selectivity of nitration reactions with N , N ′‐(1, 4‐phenylene)dimethanesulfonamide ( 1 ) and N , N ′‐(1, 4‐phenylene)diacetamide ( 6 ) was investigated in detail. The purity of the products was confirmed via low temperature X‐ray diffraction, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Moreover, the capability of 4 and 8 to initiate RDX (1, 3, 5‐trinitro‐1, 3, 5‐triazinane) was tested, together with the two other recently presented diazophenols 4‐diazo‐2, 6‐dinitrophenol ( iso ‐DDNP ) and 3‐hydroxy‐ DDNP ( HODDNP ). The tests revealed superior properties of HODDNP compared to DDNP and the other tested diazophenols regarding its ability to initiate RDX .
