ABSTRACT TITLE.: TETRA AZIDO ESTERS OF PHTHALATE ANALOGUE AND METHOD OF SYNTHESIS THEREOF The present invention provides tetra azido ester compounds of phthalate analogues and method of synthesis thereof. The method of synthesis of said azido ester compounds involves azidation of 1,3-dichloropropanol by using sodium azide as reagent and N,N’-dimethylformamide as solvent to form azido-alcohol compound that further undergoes esterification optionally with nitro phthalic acid or homophthalic acid by using dichloromethane as a solvent along with N,N’- dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) as reagents to form tetra azido ester compounds of the present invention that are useful as energetic plasticizers for gun and rocket propellant compositions.
