Nitro compounds are one of the most important starting materials for the synthesis of energetic compounds, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and polymers so that finding novel nitrating agents has great demand in organic methodology [1]. In this regard, developing green nitrating systems is also attractive [2]. Cyclic molecules with multi N–NO2 functionalities, such as hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), octahydro- 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7- tetrazocine (HMX) as well as 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12 hexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW),are important class of highly explosive compounds (Figure 1) [3,4].Thus, much effort has been put into the development and synthesis of this class of compounds. One of them, 4,10- dinitro-2,6,8,12-tetraoxa-4,10-diazaisowurtzitane or 4,10-dinitro-2,6,8,12-tetraoxa-4,10- diazatetracyclo[5.5.0.05,903,11]dodecane(TEX), [5,6] is an attractive nitro amine explosive, due to its energetic activity, high density, high detonation velocity, and great explosion potential. The presence of NO2 functional groups and skeletal strain are the major reasons for these properties
