The most glaring concern a practitioner would have in considering the use of anomeric amides such as 6 and 7 is safety on scale. This potential issue was studied extensively (see SI for experimental data). Since differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed both compounds 6 and 7 had decomposition energies above the Yoshida correlation for predicting shock sensitivity and explosive propagation, internal explosivity testing was carried out using modified accelerating rate calorimetry type equipment equipped with a fast rate data card and pressure transducer.
