## Abstract ^14^C‐labeled hexahydro‐1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine (2, RDX) was prepared by nitrolysis of hexahydro‐1,3,5‐tripropionyl‐1,3,5‐triazine (1) for bioenvironmental studies. 1 was synthesized from paraformaldehyde and propionitrile by a modified method reported earlier.
The biotransformation of hexahydro-1,3,5trinitro-1,3,5 triazine (RDX) has been observed in liquid culture by a consortium of bacteria found in horse manure. Five types of bacteria were found to predominate in the consortium and were isolated. The most effective of these isolates at transforming RDX
## Abstract Soils surrounding the former Nebraska Ordnance Plant (NOP) and other military installations are highly contaminated with hexahydro‐1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine (RDX). Because RDX is mobile in soil and recalcitrant at high concentrations, soil remediation is needed to reduce environment
