The explosive 3,6-bis(4-nitro-1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-yl)-1,4,2,5-dioxadiazene (BNDD) was synthesized by oxidation of the corresponding diamine using hydrogen peroxide in sulfuric acid with sodium tungstate. The product exhibited detonations during sensitivity testing at low insult; the material is shock and friction sensitive. The synthesis of BNDD should only be pursued by knowledgeable researchers exercising extreme caution.
