Abstract

Abstract Novel thiols of the formula CX (NO.sub.2).sub.2 CH.sub.2 SH wherein X is nitro, fluoro, chloro, bromo, or lower alkyl of from 1 to 4 bon atoms, are prepared by contacting triflates of the formula ##STR1## to form thioacetals of the formula ##STR2## which are then isolated from the reaction mixture and subjected to acid hydrolysis to form the thiols. The energy content of unsaturated propellant and explosive binders can be increased by the free radical addition of the nitro and halonitro thiols of this invention to the binders.
