However, this does not explain the structural requirements for the oxygen function vicinal to the nitrite ester a-ketones, ketals and hydroxyls are cleaved, but a-acetoxyls are not. 

Sodium nitrite (NaN02) reacted with 2-iodooctane to give a mixture of two constitutionally isomeric compounds of molecular formula C8H17NO2 in a combined yield of 88%. Suggest reasonable structures for these two isomers. 

There are notable differences in both structures and stabilities for binary N-O and S-N anions (Section 5.4). The most common oxo-anions of nitrogen are the nitrite [N02] and the nitrate anion [NOs] the latter has a branched chain structure 1.1. The sulfur analogue of nitrite is... 

Nitric oxide is the simplest thermally stable odd-electron molecule known and, accordingly, its electronic structure and reaction chemistry have been very extensively studied. The compound is an intermediate in the production of nitric acid and is prepared industrially by the catalytic oxidation of ammonia (p. 466). On the laboratory scale it can be synthesized from aqueous solution by the mild reduction of acidified nitrites with iodide or ferrocyanide or by the disproportionation of nitrous acid in the presence of dilute sulfuric acid ... 

There is quite some evidence for a mechanism as formulated above,especially for the six-membered transition state—the Barton reaction is observed only with starting materials of appropriate structure and geometry, while the photolysis of nitrite esters in general seldom leads to useful products formed by fragmentation, disproportionation or unselective intermolecular hydrogen abstraction. 

Solid sodium nitrite (0.97 g) was added at room temperature with stirring over a period of one hour to a solution of 2-chloro-9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)adenine (0.5 g) in glacial acetic acid (10 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional A A hours. The white solid was removed by filtration, washed with cold acetic acid and then well triturated with cold water to remove the sodium acetate present. The solid product was retained. The combined acetic acid filtrate and wash was evaporated at reduced pressure and 40°C bath temperature and the residual oil triturated with cold water. The resulting solid material was combined with the previously isolated solid and the combined solids dried and recrystallized from ethanol to give 2chloro-9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)+iypoxanthine (0.25 g), MP>310°C. Elemental analysis and NMR spectrum were consistent with this structure. 

The original blue (K.A. Hofmann, 1908) was obtained from the reaction of Pt(MeCN)2Cl2 with silver salts over some hours. Under these conditions, the nitrite is hydrolysed to acetamide. Very recently, the structure of the complex [(H3N)2Pt(MeCONH)2Pt(NH3)2]4(NO3)10 has been determined (Figure 3.37). The average oxidation state of the platinums in the octamer is 2.25.

Increases in nitrate + nitrite have been well documented in the Great Lakes (19). Relative increases over the past twenty years have been between 30 and 200% with the highest increases in the most populated and agriculturally productive basins of Lakes Ontario and Erie (29). Currently no adverse impacts due to this increase have been observed and concentrations are well below the 10 mg.L maximum acceptable drinking water concentration for the protection of human health. Changing N P ratios, however, can impact phytoplankton community structure (30).
