New derivatives of benzofuroxan containing triazidoisobutyl fragments, opening the way for the creation of highly effective compositions with an increased value of energy characteristics, were synthesized for the first time. Such compounds are also an excellent platform for further modification and for the preparation of new biologically-active compounds containing tetrazole and triazole fragments. Calculations of heats of formation performed with the DFT (density functional theory) method showed that the studied compounds are high-energetic density ones, the enthalpies of formation of which are comparable to the enthalpies of formation of similar benzofuroxan derivatives and exceeds experimental enthalpy of formation of CL-14 (5,7-diamino-4,6-dinitrobenzofuroxan). The analysis of DSC indicates a sufficiently high thermal stability of the synthesized azidobenzofuroxans, which are acceptable for their use as components in the creation of highly efficient compositions with an increased value of energy characteristics.
