Ethers nitric acid esters

For dehydrogenation, add this ester to dilute nitric acid (20 ml. of the concentrated acid diluted with 40 ml. of water) and boil the mixture under reflux for about 5 minutes, during which the ester gently efferv esces and Anally gives a clear solution. Cool this solution in ice-w ater, make alkaline with aqueous sodium carbonate solution and extract tw ice with ether (50 ml. for each extraction). Dry the extract with sodium sulphate, filter, and then distil using a small distilling-flask... 

Oxo Ion Salts. Salts of 0x0 ions, eg, nitrate, sulfate, perchlorate, hydroxide, iodate, phosphate, and oxalate, are readily obtained from aqueous solution. Thorium nitrate is readily formed by dissolution of thorium hydroxide in nitric acid from which, depending on the pH of solution, crystalline Th(N02)4 5H20 [33088-17 ] or Th(N02)4 4H20 [33088-16-3] can be obtained (23). Thorium nitrate is very soluble in water and in a host of oxygen-containing organic solvents, including alcohols, ethers, esters, and ketones. Hydrated thorium sulfate, Th(S0 2 H20, where n = 9, 8, 6, or 4, is...

Alkyl lV,lV-dinitramines (154) have been prepared from the reaction of the tetraalkylam-monium salts (155) of primary nitramines with nitryl fluoride in acetonitrile at subambient temperature. The same reaction with the primary nitramine or its alkali metal salts yields the corresponding nitrate ester. Treatment of the ammonium, potassium, or lithium salts of primary nitramines (156) with a solution of nitronium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile at subambient temperature yield alkyl iV,iV-dinitramines. ° The same reactions in ether or ester solvents enables the free nitramine to be used. The nitrolysis of A-alkylnitramides (157) and N,N-diacylamines with nitronium tetrafluoroborate in acetonitrile, and the nitration of aliphatic isocyanates with nitronium tetrafluoroborate and nitric acid in acetonitrile, also yield alkyl A,A-dinitramines (154). 

The problem of producing asymmetric pentaerythritol tetranitrate esters of nitric acid, i.e. mixed pentaerythritol esters and pentaerythritol ether esters, is tackled from time to time in investigations which have the dual aims ... 

Like all carbohydrates, cellulose possesses the clearly marked prominent properties of an alcohol owing to the presence of hydroxyl (alcoholic) groups. The presence of those groups explains the ability of cellulose to form esters with nitric acid and with acetic acid which have attained great practical importance, and also with sulphuric, phosphoric and different organic adds, as well as the formation of cellulose ethers. 

In the methyl ester fraction of the spent acid from the nitric acid reaction (Figure 10), the methyl ether esters of p-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic, and syringic acids and the methyl esters of benzoic acid and the di- and tricarboxybenzenes have been found. These compounds are also present in the chromatogram of the basic extract, as are the methyl esters of the tetracarboxybenzenes and mellitic acid. In addition, dehydrodivanillic acid or pentacarboxybenzene or both are present in both chromatograms...

The arrays of products from the various methyl ester fractions do not show the distinctive grouping noted for the methyl ethers. In contrast to the methyl ethers, the alkaline oxidations produced many acidic products having methyl esters with relative retention times less than 0.931. Methyl esters from alkaline nitrobenzene and nitric acid oxidations, present in more than trace amounts, were distributed more widely than esters from the oxygen reactions. In the latter instance most products with a relative retention time greater than 1.000 were present in small amounts.
