Amines By reduction of nitro compounds

The three main divisions of this subject are nitration and the nitro compounds, the direct amination of petroleum hydrocarbons, and the direct cyanidation of hydrocarbons to nitriles. The production of amines by reduction of nitro compounds or by amination of chloro compounds are subsidiary interests which involve petroleum hydrocarbons only in the second step. It may be added that hydroxylamine itself and its salts are almost exclusively prepared from nitropropane and may be thus considered a petroleum chemical...
