An Effective Method for the Oxidation of Aminofurazans to Nitrofurazans

An effective method for the synthesis of nitrofurazans (NF) from aminofurazans (AF) has been developed based on H₂O₂-containing oxidizing mixtures with reduced acidity; a correlation between the ionization potentials of AF and the oxidative capacity of the mixtures has been found, and a calculated analytical method to determine the choice of oxidizing mixtures has been derived.
