Abstract:
Diglyercol tetranitrate is an energetic nitrate ester plasticizer having no freezing point, making the nitrate ester plasticizer especially suited for use in solid rocket motor propellants that are subjected to low temperature storage and operational environments, which can reach as low as null54null C. in temperature. In order to avoid problems associated with fume-off that characterize the conventional synthesis method of making diglycerol tetranitrate, synthesis is performed in a medium including a mixed acid phase and an inert organic phase. The mixed acid phase contains, as ingredients, at least one nitronium ion source and at least one acid having sufficient strength to generate nitronium ions from the nitronium ion source. The nitronium ions in the mixed acid nitrate diglycerol to form diglycerol tetranitrate, which is then received into the organic liquid. The organic liquid, which preferably is a chlorocarbon such as dichloromethane, is insoluble with diglycerol but soluble with diglycerol tetranitrate. The inert organic phase is then treated to neutralize any acid contained in the inert organic phase, and the diglycerol tetranitrate is separated from the inert organic phase.

Abstract:
Optically active cyclopentenolones, which are useful as an intermediate of pyrethroid insecticides, are produced from racemic cyclopentenolones according to the following procedures; (1) asymmetric hydrolysis of racemic carboxylate esters of the cyclopentenolones, (2) nitrate- or sulfonate-esterification of the asymmetrical hydrolysis products, and (3) hydrolysis of the esterification products.
Abstract:
A process for the continuous manufacture of a nitric acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol by reacting the polyhydric alcohol with nitrating acid, comprising circulating a stream of waste nitrating acid through a closed loop, injecting nitrosulphuric acid into said circulating stream, cooling the stream downstream of the injection, feeding the alcohol via a mixer into the cooled stream, cooling the stream to remove heat produced by reaction, and separating nitrated polyhydric alcohol from the loop, along with sufficient waste acid to keep the volume in the loop substantially constant, circulation being carried out at a rate such that the average residence time of waste acid in the loop is less than about 15 minutes, preferably about 2 to 5 minutes. This avoids the prolonged storage of large quantities of waste acid which is inherently dangerous. When the system is to be shut down all the circulating waste acid can be replaced by fresh nitrosulphuric acid, relatively small in volume.
Abstract:
A process for the separation of nitroglycerin from mixtures of nitroglycerin and diethylene glycol diluent which avoids the presence of undiluted nitroglycerin is disclosed. The process avoids the hazards inherent in handling undiluted nitroglycerin.
Abstract:
A process for treating final acid obtained in forming a nitrate of a polyhydric alcohol, said final acid comprising a mixture of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, water and said nitrate, said process comprising mixing said final acid with an aromatic nitro compound, allowing said mixture to stratify whereby said nitrate is dissolved into said aromatic nitro compound as one layer and there is another substantially nitrate-free waste acid layer comprising sulfuric acid, nitric acid and water, and separating said layers. Preferably the nitrate is trinitroglycerine and the aromatic nitro compound is dinitrotoluene. The waste acid layer advantageously is partially used to form additional dinitrotoluene and is partially mixed with fresh final acid since its presence serves to stabilize such final acid by preventing any settling out of trinitroglycerine, presumably by the action of the small amount of dinitrotoluene which may be present in said waste acid.
Abstract:
2-Perfluoroalkyl ethanols are obtained by reacting 2-perfluoroalkyl ethyliodides with at least the two-fold molar amount of nitric acid of about 70 to 98 percent strength and hydrogenating the intermediates, which are the nitrates of the desired ethanols. The products are useful as starting materials for the production of hydrophobic and oleophobic textile finishing agents, e.g. the polymer acrylates and methacrylates of said 2perfluoroalkyl-ethanols.
