## Abstract ^14^Cโlabeled hexahydroโ1,3,5โtrinitroโ1,3,5โtriazine (2, RDX) was prepared by nitrolysis of hexahydroโ1,3,5โtripropionylโ1,3,5โtriazine (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
