Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for the continuous preparation of n-butyl nitrite with a low content of n-butanol comprising the reaction of n-butanol, an acid and NaNO2 in a continuous way, in which the n-butanol, an acid and NaNO2 are mixed in a mixing device which provides for a pressure drop of at least 1 bar; the acid is selected from the group consisting of HCI, H2SO4, formic acid, methanesulfonic acid, and mixtures thereof; and the amount of HCI is at least 1.02 molar equivalent based on the molar amount of n-butanol.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to nitric oxide releasing prodrugs of known drugs or therapeutic agents wherein the drug or therapeutic agents contain at least one carboxylic acid group. The invention also relates to processes for the preparation of these nitric oxide releasing prodrugs, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to methods of using these prodrugs.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polymer supported reagent comprising a novel crosslinked mesoporous polymer, enabling a simple and easy production of an azoxy compound or an azo compound from an aromatic nitro compound, and a method of selectively reducing an aromatic nitro compound by using the same. The polymer supported reagent comprises a certain acrylamide mesoporous crosslinked polymer.
Abstract:
A method for producing nitrous acid ester in which nitric oxide, oxygen, and an alcohol are reacted, thereby generating nitrous acid ester includes a step of generating nitrous acid ester by supplying a bottom liquid from a bottom part of the reaction column, and nitric oxide and/or carbon monoxide, a step of supplying nitrous acid ester to the reaction column; a step of supplying a reaction liquid containing water, nitric acid, and the alcohol to a nitric acid condensing column from the reactor; and a step of separating a low-boiling point component by distillation from the reaction liquid under control of a concentration of the alcohol in a condensed liquid being generated at a bottom part of the nitric acid condensing column to be less than 4.0% by weight so as to introduce the condensed liquid into the reactor from the nitric acid condensing column.

Abstract:
Nitration of organic compounds and organic nitrogen compounds produced.Organic nitrogen compounds are formed in the vapor phase by organic radical formation by reaction of an organic compound with hydroxyl radicals derived from the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen dioxide and the nitration of the organic radicals, suitably with nitrogen dioxide. The process may be conducted as a single stage process using an excess of nitrogen dioxide over that required for hydroxyl radical formation. The production of hydroxyl radicals is maximized by the use of a catalytic solid surface such as a solid acid or an acidic oxide or mixed oxide. The product may be a mixture of some or all of the nitrite, nitrate and nitro-derivative which may be used as such, e.g. as a fuel additive, as a source of the individual compounds or as a feedstock for a further synthesis.
