- Green synthesis of low-carbon chain nitroalkanes via a novel tandem reaction of ketones catalyzed by TS-1
-
A green and efficient one-pot method has been developed for the synthesis of low-carbon chain nitroalkanes via a novel TS-1 catalyzed tandem oxidation of ketones with H2O2 and NH3. The tandem reaction including ammoxidation, oximation and oxidation of oximes, afforded up to 88% yield and 98% chemo-selectivity requiring only 90 min, at 70 °C and atmospheric pressure. Moreover, this method was even amenable to 100-fold scale-up without loss of chemical efficiency with 87% yield, represents a significant advance towards industrial production of nitroalkanes. Furthermore, the plausible mechanism of TS-1 catalyzed tandem oxidation of ketones to prepare nitroalkanes was proposed.

Provided is a process for the formation of nitrated compounds by the nitration of hydrocarbon compounds with dilute nitric acid. Also provided are processes for preparing industrially useful downstream derivatives of the nitrated compounds, as well as novel nitrated compounds and derivatives, and methods of using the derivatives in various applications.

- Formation of Organic Nitro-compounds in Flowing H2O2+NO2+N2+Organic Vapour Systems. Part 3.-Effects of O2 Addition on H2O2+NO2+N2+Alkane Systems
-
The effects of oxygen on the product distribution from the surface-initiated reactions in flowing mixtures of H2O2, NO2, N2 and RH, where RH=ethane, propane, n-butane and n-pentane, at 298 K have been studied.In the absence of O2, the principal products are the corresponding nitroalkane, alkyl nitrite and alkyl nitrate.In the presence of sufficiently large concentrations of O2, the predominant product is the alkyl nitrate and the only other products of significance, in some cases, are the corresponding carbonyl compounds.The variation of the product yields with / gives values for the rate-constant ratios k8/(k3+k4) for reaction at both primary and secondary radical sites:.Possible mechanisms by which the products are formed are discussed.

- Formation of Organic Nitro-compounds in Flowing H2O2+NO2+N2+Organic Vapour Systems. Part 2.-H2O2+NO2+N2+Alkane System
-
The principal products from the surface-initiated reactions in flowing mixtures of H2O2, NO2,N2 and RH, where RH=ethane, propane, n-butane and n-pentane, have been identified as the nitroalkane, alkyl nitrite and alkyl nitrate.The product yields have been measured; in the case of propane the variation of the yields with total gas pressure has also been studied.Values have been obtained for the relative rates of primary and secondary H-atom abstraction from each alkane by OH and for the rate-constant ratios k3/k4 and k5/k6 at 298 K:.The trends in the product yields with the variation of pressure and change of R indicate that RO radicals are produced via reactions (4)-(6) rather than by a single-step reaction of R with NO2.
