For butyl nitrite use the same quantities as for hexyl nitrite, but with 92.5 g (114ml, 1.25 mol) of butan-l-ol replacing the hexan-l-ol. The yield of crude product is 110 g (85%). Butyl nitrite boils at 76.5-77.5 °C at atmospheric pressure with slight decomposition, but distils unchanged at 27 °C/43 mmHg. 

In the second series of experiments, the products from the photo-oxidation of diethyl ether, carried out in a Teflon bag reactor at ppm and ppb levels, have been determined by withdrawing vapour samples and monitoring by gas chromatography, HPLC and by chemiluminescence analysis. The major reaction products which have been measured are ethyl formate, ethyl acetate, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, PAN, methyl nitrate and ethyl nitrate. The products observed arise from the decomposition reactions of the 1-ethoxyethoxy radical and from its reaction with oxygen. The data enable the establishment of a quantitative mechanism for the photo-oxidative reaction. In addition the rate of conversion of NO to NO2, determined by chemiluminescence analysis, shows that for each molecule of ether reacted only one molecule of NO is converted to NO2. In further end-product analyses experiments, the OH radical initiated photo-oxidation of n-hexane or the photolyses of 2- or 3-hexyl nitrites were studied to examine the...
