Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for stably producing a nitrous ester by effectively removing heat of reaction by specifying the amount of an alcohol and the circulation amount or the like of a bottom liquid when the alcohol is reacted with nitrogen oxide in a distillation reaction column by a specific method. SOLUTION: This method for producing a nitrous ester comprising flowing down an alcohol liquid from an upper part region 2 to a lower part region 3 while supplying the alcohol liquid from an alcohol liquid-supplying line 6 to a distillation reaction column 1, taking out the bottom liquid of the distillation reaction column 1 from the bottom part 4, cooling the taken out bottom liquid by a cooler 8, recycling the cooled bottom liquid by a recycling pipe 9 so as to be flown down from the lower part 3, on the other hand, supplying a feedstock gas containing nitrogen oxide from a feedstock gas-supplying line 5 to bring the nitrogen oxide into contact with the alcohol in the distillation reaction column 1 in a countercurrent state to carry out a gas-liquid catalytic reaction to provide nitrous ester comprises regulating so that the recycling amount of the bottom liquid may be 50-300 times as much as the weight of the total supplied alcohol, the total amount of the total supplied alcohol and the alcohol amount in the bottom liquid may be 20-150 mol per 1 mol nitrogen oxide, and the alcohol concentration in the bottom liquid at the bottom part 4 may be 15-60 wt.%.

PURPOSE:To suppress formation of impurities and to obtain the title high-purity compound simply, inexpensively and in high yield by reacting a nitrite with an aliphatic monohydric alcohol while adjusting pH of the reaction solution with nitric acid instead of sulfuric acid. CONSTITUTION:4-6C aliphatic monofunctional alcohol is blended with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal salt (preferably sodium salt) of nitrous acid and maintained at 0-30 deg.C, preferably 0-15 deg.C while stirring. An aqueous solution of nitric acid is dripped to the mixed solution until the pH value of the water phase of the prepared reaction solution becomes 1-3. After the water phase of the prepared reaction solution is separated and removed, the organic phase is washed with water until the washed solution becomes pH >=4.
Abstract:
An alkyl nitrite is produced with high efficiency by bringing a nitrogen monoxide gas into contact with an aqueous solution of an alkyl alcohol and nitric acid in a reactor 2, which aqueous solution may be a liquid fraction generated in an alkyl nitrite-production process in which an alkyl alcohol is reacted with nitrogen monoxide and oxygen in a reaction column 1.

Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE TREATMENT OF HYDROCARBONS WITH NITRIC OIDE (NO) AND OXYGEN TO RPODUCE NITRATES, NITRITES AND KETONES AND OTHER OXIDATION PRODUCTS. THROUGH THE USE OF ALKALINE INHIBITORS SUCH AS ALKALI METAL BICARBONATES, THE PRODUCTION OF KETONES AND OTHER NON-NITROGEN CONTAINING OXIDATION PRODUCTS CAN BE MINIMIZED WHILE THE PRODUCTION OF ITRATES AND NITRIES ARE MAXIMIZED.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for converting aromatic thiols to the corresponding nitroso- or nitro-substituted compounds by treating the thiol compounds with an excess of nitric acid having a HNO3 concentration of 90 to 100 percent. Representative starting compounds are benzenethiols and pyridinethiols which, in addition to the thiol group, are substituted with one or more electronwith-drawing groups such, for example, as chloro, nitro or cyano, among others. The nitroso and nitro compounds produced during the reaction have utility as pesticides and are variously effective as herbicides and in the control of fungi and nematodes as well as of parasites infecting warmblooded animals.
