A method for acylating a hexakis(arylmethyl)hexaazaisowurtzitane (WB6) by reductive dearylmethylation in the presence of an acylating agent, which comprises contacting (a) a WB6 and (b) a heterogeneous reduction catalyst with each other in the presence of (c) an acylating agent and (d) a reducing agent in (e) a solvent for WB6 (a), thereby performing a reductive dearylmethylation/acylation reaction of WB6 (a), wherein there is no contact between WB6 (a) and heterogeneous reduction catalyst (b) in the absence of any of acylating agent (c) and reducing agent (d). The method of the present invention is commercially advantageous in that the decomposition of a hexaazaisowurtzitane skeleton, Which is likely to occur at the initial stage of the acylation reaction of a WB6 as a starting material, can be very effectively suppressed, so that desired tetraacylhexaazaisowurtzitane derivatives can be stably produced in high yield.
从而对 WB6 (a) 进行还原性脱芳基甲基化/酰化反应,其中在没有酰化剂 (c) 和还原剂 (d) 的情况下,WB6 (a) 和异相还原催化剂 (b) 之间没有接触。本发明的方法在商业上的优势在于可以非常有效地抑制六氮唑
脲烷骨架的分解,这种分解可能发生在作为起始原料的 WB6 的酰化反应的初始阶段,因此可以高产率稳定地生产出所需的四乙酰基六氮唑
