3,3-Bis(chloromethyl)oxetane (BCMO) is an intermediate in the synthesis of poly(bis(azidomethyl)oxetane (PolyBAMO), an energetic polymer that is being studied for use as a propellant binder for rocket fuel. [2]
It is classified as an extremely hazardous substance in the United States. [3] It can cause kidney damage, lacrimation, and somnolence if consumed. [1]
BCMO is formed in solution via cyclization of pentaerythritol trichlorohydrin with a non-organic base like sodium hydroxide. [4]
BAMO can be formed from a reaction of BCMO with sodium azide. This reaction takes place in an alkaline solution with tetrabutyl ammonium bromide, which acts as a phrase transfer catalyst. [4]
