Dynamit-Nobel AG, NethP, Appl 6411854 (1966) CA 65, 6992(1966) (Liquid esters of nitric acid and aromatic nitro compds can be gelatinized with polymers of unsatd acids or unsatd alcohols and their derivs. The advantages of these polymers include increased safety of manipulation and increased rate of gelatinizacioii. Thus a 60/40—NG/ NGc soin was mixed with 3 wt %-of finely powd polymethylacrylates and, after 1.5 hrs, had a viscosity of 4250 cp at 20° under shearing gradient of 15 sec )... 

Piperidine. Hexahydropyridine. CjH N mol wt 85.15. C 70.52%, H 13.02%, N 16.45%. Found in small quantities in Piper nigrum L.. Piperaceae (black pepper). May be obtained from pipeline by henting with alcoholic KOH, or from 1,5-diaminopentane hydrochloride by cycli-zarion. Usually prepd by electrolytic reduction of pyridine. Forms complexes with salts of heavy metals. Because of its reactivity, piperidine is useful in the prepn of cryst derivatives of aromatic nitro compds contg nuclear halogen atoms Seikel, J, Am. Chem.

Lower valent tungsten halides are a new class of deoxygenation agents, e.g. for the conversion of carbonyl or epoxy compounds into olefins . A new reagent, generated in situ from iron pentacarbonyl and a small amount of base in moist solvents, selectively and efficiently hydrogenates the ethylenic portion of a,/ -unsaturated carbonyl compounds, such as ketones or lactones, under mild conditions. Aliphatic tert. amides can be easily reduced to alcohols by alkali metals in hexa-methylphosphoramide and a protic cosolvent such as tert-butanol. Aldehydes can be obtained from acids by catalytic reduction of intermediate carboxylic alkoxyformic anhydrides . Sec. nitro compds. are converted into ketones by the joint action of a nitrite ester and NaNOg under mild, non-acidic conditions .
