Summary: | Furoxan derivatives enriched with explosophoric functionalities are promising compounds in the preparation of novel energetic materials. Herein, a previously unknown potassium (3-methyl-2-oxido-1,2,5-oxadiazol-4-yl)dinitromethanide (also referred to as potassium 4-dinitromethyl-3-methylfuroxanate) was synthesized via tandem nitration-reduction reactions of an available (furoxanyl)chloroxime. The structure of the synthesized compound was established by elemental analysis, IR, <sup>1</sup>H, <sup>13</sup>C and <sup>14</sup>N NMR spectroscopy. Thermal stability and mechanical sensitivity of the prepared compound toward impact and friction were experimentally determined.
