Abstract:
An alkyl nitrite is produced with high efficiency by bringing a nitrogen monoxide gas into contact with an aqueous solution of an alkyl alcohol and nitric acid in a reactor 2, which aqueous solution may be a liquid fraction generated in an alkyl nitrite-production process in which an alkyl alcohol is reacted with nitrogen monoxide and oxygen in a reaction column 1.
Abstract:
NITRITES OF GLYCOLS AND GLYCOL DERIVATIVES OBTAINABLE BY ESTERIFICATION WITH NITROUS ACID. THE COMPOUNDS ARE EMINENTLY SUITABLE AS DIAZOTIZING AGENTS, PARTICULARLY IN ORGANIC SOLUTION.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE TREATMENT OF HYDROCARBONS WITH NITRIC OIDE (NO) AND OXYGEN TO RPODUCE NITRATES, NITRITES AND KETONES AND OTHER OXIDATION PRODUCTS. THROUGH THE USE OF ALKALINE INHIBITORS SUCH AS ALKALI METAL BICARBONATES, THE PRODUCTION OF KETONES AND OTHER NON-NITROGEN CONTAINING OXIDATION PRODUCTS CAN BE MINIMIZED WHILE THE PRODUCTION OF ITRATES AND NITRIES ARE MAXIMIZED.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for converting aromatic thiols to the corresponding nitroso- or nitro-substituted compounds by treating the thiol compounds with an excess of nitric acid having a HNO3 concentration of 90 to 100 percent. Representative starting compounds are benzenethiols and pyridinethiols which, in addition to the thiol group, are substituted with one or more electronwith-drawing groups such, for example, as chloro, nitro or cyano, among others. The nitroso and nitro compounds produced during the reaction have utility as pesticides and are variously effective as herbicides and in the control of fungi and nematodes as well as of parasites infecting warmblooded animals.
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 produgs.

Abstract:
C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -Alkyl nitrites can be prepared by reaction of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanols with nitrogen oxides with the participation of oxygen in a reactor designed as a scrubber column, nitrogen oxides having a proportion of more than 50% of NO of the total amount of gram atoms of N of the nitrogen oxides, oxygen and optionally inert gas being fed into the lower part of the reactor. 5 to 60% of the total amount of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanol used is likewise fed into the lower part of the reactor in vaporous or atomized form, while the remaining C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanol is delivered to the column head.
Abstract:
Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is prepared by continuous gas reaction of carbon monoxide and methyl nitrite a heterogeneous catalyst comprising a platinum at 50.degree. to 170.degree. C. under 1 to 5 bar.
Abstract:
A process is provided for removing impurities from the gaseous product of an alkyl nitrite production zone by contacting a portion of it with lower alcohol and oxygen to convert substantially all of the nitric oxide in that portion of the gaseous product stream to alkyl nitrite, the oxygen being present in an amount such that the mole ratio of nitric oxide to oxygen is in the range of about 4:1 to about 2:1 and the lower alcohol being present in the reaction zone such that the mole ratio of nitric oxide to lower alcohol is about 1:1 or less. A recovery stream, comprising alkyl nitrite substantially free of nitric oxide, is withdrawn from the reaction zone and at least a portion of the alkyl produced in the reaction zone is removed. A least a portion of the balance of the recovery stream from which the alkyl nitrite has been removed is purged, thereby removing impurities from the process.
