Nitrosyl chlorid

A similar reaction occurs with chlorine, to give nitrosyl chloride... 

Acid Halogenides. For acid halogenides the name is formed from the corresponding acid radical if this has a special name (Sec. 3.1.2.10) for example, NOCl, nitrosyl chloride. In other cases these compounds are named as halogenide oxides with the ligands listed alphabetically for example, BiClO, bismuth chloride oxide VCI2O, vanadium(lV) dichloride oxide.

A photochemical partial synthesis of aldosterone (19) made the hormone available on an industrial scale for the first time (114). Corticosterone acetate (51 acetate) is treated with nitrosyl chloride in pyridine at 20°C to yield the 11-nitrite (115). Irradiation of (115) leads to rearrangement with formation of the C g-oxime (116). Removal of the oxime residue with nitrous acid furnishes aldosterone (19) in excellent yield. 

The cooled, dried chlorine gas contains - 2% HCl and up to 10% O2, both of which are removed by Hquefaction. A full scale 600-t/day plant was built by Du Pont ia 1975. This iastaHatioa at Corpus Christi, Texas operates at 1.4 MPa (13.8 atm) and 120—180°C and uses tantalum-plated equipment and pipes. Oxidation of HCl Chloride by JSHtricHcid. The nitrosyl chloride [2696-92-6] route to chlorine is based on the strongly oxidi2iag properties of nitric acid... 

The practical problems He ia the separatioa of the chlorine from the hydrogea chloride and nitrous gases. The dilute nitric acid must be reconcentrated and corrosion problems are severe. Suggested improvements iaclude oxidation of concentrated solutions of chlorides, eg, LiCl, by nitrates, followed by separation of chlorine from nitrosyl chloride by distillation at 135°C, or oxidation by a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids, separating the... 

The U.S. domestic commercial potassium nitrate of the 1990s contains 13.9% N, 44.1% I+O, 0—1.8% Cl, 0.1% acid insoluble, and 0.08% moisture. The material is manufactured by Vicksburg Chemical Co. using a process developed by Southwest Potash Division of AMAX Corp. This process uses highly concentrated nitric acid to catalyze the oxidation of by-product nitrosyl chloride and hydrogen chloride to the mote valuable chlorine (68). The much simplified overall reaction is... 

Nitrosyl chloride (178), nitrosyl chloride—hydrogen fluoride (NOF -3HF, NOF -6HF) (179), nitrous acid—hydrogen fluoride solutions (180,181), or nitrogen trioxide (prepared in situ from nitric oxide and oxygen) (27) can be used in place of sodium nitrite in the dia2oti2ation step. 

Nitrosyl chloride, a product of the basic reaction, has no commercial value and is converted to salable chlorine and to nitric acid for recycling. 

The reactants are fed separately iato a stUl, from which the product is continuously removed by distillation (qv) (31). Isopropyl nitrate is a valuable engiae-starter fuel and can be used ia explosives (see Explosives and propellants) (32). The nitrite ester, isopropyl nitrite, can be prepared from the reaction of isopropyl alcohol and either nitrosyl chloride or nitrous acid at ambient temperature (33). The ester is used as a jet engine propellant (30). 

Limonene (+15) is an important raw material for producing (-)-carvone [6485-40-1]. The process uses nitrosyl chloride and proceeds via nitrosochloride and oxime (78,79). The (-)-carvone (40) is found as the main component of spearmint oil and the (+)-carvone produced from (—)-limonene has the characteristic odor of diU. 

Toray. The photonitrosation of cyclohexane or PNC process results in the direct conversion of cyclohexane to cyclohexanone oxime hydrochloride by reaction with nitrosyl chloride in the presence of uv light (15) (see Photochemical technology). Beckmann rearrangement of the cyclohexanone oxime hydrochloride in oleum results in the evolution of HCl, which is recycled to form NOCl by reaction with nitrosylsulfuric acid. The latter is produced by conventional absorption of NO from ammonia oxidation in oleum. Neutralization of the rearrangement mass with ammonia yields 1.7 kg ammonium sulfate per kilogram of caprolactam. Purification is by vacuum distillation. The novel chemistry is as follows ... 

Substitutedisoxazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acids have been prepared from ethyl nitroacetate and an aldehyde (63BCJii50). A related reaction leads to diethyl 4-hydroxyisoxazole-3,5-dicarboxylate (334) and involves the reaction of acetonedicarboxylic acid ester (333) with nitrosyl chloride (78JHC1519). 

The action of benzoylmethylides (471) and (472) with nitrosyl chloride produced the 2-trans products (473) and (474) (72T3845). 

Equations 4-8 illustrate some mild methods that can be used to cleave amides. Equations 4 and 5 indicate the conditions that were used by Woodward and Eschenmoser, respectively, in their synthesis of vitamin B,2- Butyl nitrite," nitrosyl chloride, and nitrosoniurn tetrafluoroborate... 

Nitrosyl chloride [2696-92-6] M 65.5, h -5.5°. Fractionally distilled at atmospheric pressure in an allglass, low temperature still, taking the fraction boiling at -4° and storing it in sealed tubes. 

Whereas sulfonyl halides have been known for a long time and, especially the chlorides, have become of great synthetic value, sulfonyl cyanides were unknown until 1968. They were first prepared by van Leusen and co-workers from the reaction of sulfonylmethylenephos-phoranes with nitrosyl chloride. The same group also investigated part of their chemistry. Since then, two more, completely different, methods of synthesis were published from sulfinates with cyanogen chloride,and by the oxidation of thiocyanates. ... 

Caution Part B must be conducted in an efficient hood to avoid exposure to toxic nitrosyl chloride. 

Nitrosyl chloride (Matheson Gas Products) with a purity specified as > 97% was used. Occasionally, the needle valve of the nitrosyl chloride tank clogs. After closing the tank, the valve is disconnected and flushed with acetone until the acetone remains colorless. The needle valve is reconnected after being dried with compressed air. 

Nitrosyl chloride also can be prepared conveniently from hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite, ...
