Description
Field of study
The chemistry of nitro compounds, more generally, the chemistry of linear and cyclic polyazot-oxygen systems (N-nitrodiazen-Nґ-oxides, condensed 1,2,3,4-tetrazin-1,3-dioxides, etc.).
Main results
Development of new methods for obtaining nitro compounds, including substitutive nitration at the nitrogen atom and the addition of the trinitromethyl group to non-activated olefins.
Discovery of the reaction of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitron esters to a multiple bond.
Development of a new strategy for using nitro compounds as universal synthons in organic synthesis.
Creating a concept that allows the design of poly-oxygen-oxygen systems, which contain a large number of nitrogen and oxygen atoms directly connected to each other.
Development of computational methods for predicting the energy and performance properties of high-energy substances.
The discovery and development (together with the Laboratory of Organic Synthesis of IOC) of methods for the synthesis of dinitramide and its salts, one of which served as the basis for the creation in the USSR of a new generation of rocket fuels that have no analogues in the world in terms of efficiency and environmental friendliness.
