Abstract:
Nitroparaffins are advantageously made by gaseous phase nitration of hydrocarbons higher than methane in the presence of a small amount of at least one carboxylic acid, preferably acetic acid.
Abstract:
An improved process for forming nitroparaffins by gaseous phase nitration of hydrocarbons higher than methane. The improvement comprises carrying out the nitration in the presence of a small amount of oxygenated hydrocarbons selected from aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, ethers and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:

It further relates to new intermediate compounds and their use for said new chemical synthesis route, as well as a new catalyst ligand.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for scrubbing a crude mixture comprising dinitrotoluene, nitric acid, nitrogen oxides and sulfuric acid obtained in the nitration of toluene after the nitrating acid has been separated off, which comprises two scrubbing steps (SS-I) and (SS-II), wherein i) in a first scrubbing step (SS-I), the crude mixture is extracted with a scrubbing acid I comprising nitric acid, nitrogen oxides and sulfuric acid in a scrub comprising at least one extraction stage, where the scrubbing acid discharged from the first extraction stage (SS-I-1) of the first scrubbing step (SS-I) has a total acid content of from 20 to 40% by weight and a prescrubbed crude mixture is obtained, ii) in a second scrubbing step (SS-II), the prescrubbed crude mixture comprising dinitrotoluene is extracted with a scrubbing acid II in a scrub comprising at least one extraction stage, where the scrubbing acid discharged from the first extraction stage (SS-II-1) of the second scrubbing step (SS-II) has a pH of less than or equal to 4 and a mixture comprising dinitrotoluene which is essentially free of nitric acid, sulfuric acid and nitrogen oxides is obtained.
Abstract:
A modular chemical production system includes multiple modules for performing a chemical reaction, particularly of radiochemical compounds, from a remote location. One embodiment comprises a reaction vessel including a moveable heat source with the position thereof relative to the reaction vessel being controllable from a remote position. Alternatively the heat source may be fixed in location and the reaction vial is moveable into and out of the heat source. The reaction vessel has one or more sealing plugs, the positioning of which in relationship to the reaction vessel is controllable from a remote position. Also the one or more reaction vessel sealing plugs can include one or more conduits there through for delivery of reactants, gases at atmospheric or an elevated pressure, inert gases, drawing a vacuum and removal of reaction end products to and from the reaction vial, the reaction vial with sealing plug in position being operable at elevated pressures. The modular chemical production system is assembled from modules which can each include operating condition sensors and controllers configured for monitoring and controlling the individual modules and the assembled system from a remote position. Other modules include, but are not limited to a Reagent Storage and Delivery Module, a Cartridge Purification Module, a Microwave Reaction Module, an External QC/Analysis/Purification Interface Module, an Aliquotting Module, an F-18 Drying Module, a Concentration Module, a Radiation Counting Module, and a Capillary Reactor Module.
