What is k-6(keto-6?)? I read it somewhere but in other references it is not mentioned.

Does anyone have some info about dinitroureas(DNUs)? There's very little info about them.

Thanks in advance

Dinitrourea is not found in my chem dictionary neither, only nitrourea is found.
Keto-6 doesn't appear to be a formal chemical
name, it could be an industrial name.

The chemistry of DiNitroUreas is very new. In 1998 there was an article about its chemistry in JSC's Pyrotechnics, Explosives and Propellants.
DNU's have very interesting properties, and the past two years more and more interest has grown for this group of chemicals. Several articles in the Journal of Organic Chemistry and others have appearend the past two years.
So it is VERY new compared to others, and that's why I asked it here. There is almost no information on this subject. Good works like from T. Urbanski e.o. do not mention it.

In quite some documents the chemical k-6 is used. It's some kind of explosive. And it is also not really mensioned in Kirk-Othmer PEP, Urbanski, and all the many other encyclopedias and papers in my personal library.

I have a new nederlandish friend Greet Lipsch that is really interested in this he also talked me about this field he is interested in for 3 years by now!
DNU derivatives are simply
R-N(NO2)-C(=O)-N(NO2)-R like formula's.
Dingu and sorgyul belongs to that family (dinitro and tetra nitro glucourile).
Keto-6 is simply the RDX with one of it's CH2 oxydised as a cetone:
(-N(NO2)-CH2-N(NO2)-CO-N(NO2)-CH2-) ring closure by the two - on both end.
You can recognise in this the patern of DNU!!!
