The \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\)-uniformly labeled (UL) explosive, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7tetrazocine (HMX) was synthesized in \(40 \%\) yield by nitrolysis of \({ }^{14} \mathrm{C}\)-labeled hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) in the presence of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate as catalyst.
## 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.
