The synthetic methods of five classes of azole-and azine-based nitrogen-rich energetic compounds with oxygen (including nitroxide, hydroxyl oxygen, ligand oxygen, carbonyl oxygen and composite oxygen) in recent years were summarized, in which, studies on the synthesis of nitrogen-rich compounds with nitroxide and composite oxygen are the most active.Considering that the following points are the focus of future research.Studies on the scale-up synthesis and practical application for the excellent nitrogen-rich energetic compounds containing oxygen with simple synthetic process and readily available raw materials are carried out.The process improvement for the excellent nitrogen-rich energetic compounds containing oxygen with high synthesis difficulty and high cost is carried out.When designing a novel nitrogen-rich energetic compound containing oxygen, the introduction of azo group and fused ring should be considered.49 references are attached.
