Nitric acid alcohol oxidation

When ethyl nitrate is rapidly heated, for example in a flame, it decomposes explosively it belongs to the same class of substances as nitroglycerine. Precautions should therefore be taken. Under the conditions employed ethyl alcohol is not oxidised by pure nitric acid but merely esterified. Oxidation sets in immediately if traces of nitrous acid are present. Since the nitric oxide which is thus produced from the nitrous acid is at once oxidised to NOz by the nitric acid, the oxidation, which is initially slight, becomes progressively greater, its velocity...

Furfural can be and has been used as a fuel for motor cars and airplanes. Under the trade name of FURALINE, a mixture of furfuryl alcohol, methanol, and xylidine (dimethyl aniline) is used as a rocket fuel. With nitric acid as oxidizer, a mixture of furfuryl alcohol with aniline is used as the fuel for the American CORPORAL rockets and the French VERONIQUE and EMERAUDE rockets. The latter system is hypergolic When the mixture of furfuryl alcohol and aniline (the fuel ) comes into contact with the nitric acid (the oxidizer ), it ignites by itself without external aid. Even alone, furfuryl alcohol explodes when mixed with concentrated nitric acid. 

Several less common and more expensive oxidizing agents have been used to oxidize various cyclopropylmethanols, for example, nitric acid (alcohols to carboxylic acids), oxygen combined with [Bu4N]0s(N)(CH2TMS)(Cr04)], silver(I) carbonate on Celite or basic silver(l) oxide (alcohols to aldehydes and ketones ) and ruthenium(VIII) oxide (alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, 15 - 917 acids ). Ruthenium(VIII) oxide is usually generated... 

Next, we performed experimental testing of TIC s on the following hquids carbon disulfide, acrylonitrile, acrolein, nitric acid, propylene oxide, allyl alcohol, and phosphoras trichloride. The measurements were taken in vials containing three milliliters of hquid. Five spectra from 1100 to 2300 mn were taken of each liquid with 200 scans per spectra. The gain setting was two. The first derivative spectral graph for all of the liquids is shown in Figure 3.
