Abstract:
Organic nitrites can be produced from a compound which is a mono/polyhydric alcohol or an aldehyde- or ketone-derivate thereof after de-aeration of the same, using NO gas, and stored in an environment saturated with gaseous NO. Organic nitrites produced according to the invention exhibit less impurities and improved storage stability compared to conventionally produced nitrites. The organic nitrites of the invention can easily be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions and have utility for the treatment of various conditions.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for preparing alkyl nitrites of formula (I) R ONO wherein R represents a C1-C20, advantageously C2-C10 linear or branched alkyl group. The invention is characterised in that it consists in gradually and continuously adding in an aqueous medium, an alcohol of formula (II) R OH, R being as defined above, a nitrite of formula (III) M NO2, wherein M represents a metal cation, and a strong acid, so as to form continuously said alkyl nitrite, and in continuously drawing off said alkyl nitrite thus formed from the reaction medium.
Abstract:
C₁-C₆-Alkylnitrite können durch Umsetzung von Stickstoffdioxid mit C₁-C₆-Alkoholen hergestellt werden, indem man in einer im Gegenstrom betriebenen Kolonne den Alkohol oder ein Alkohol/Wasser-Gemisch in den oberen Teil der Kolonne einspeist und das Stickstoffdioxid oder ein Stickstoffdioxid/Inertgas-Gemisch in den unteren Teil der Kolonne einspeist. Das entstehende Alkylnitrit wird als Kopfprodukt und die mitentstehende Salpetersäure als Fußprodukt an der Kolonne entnommen.
Abstract:
The invention deals with the preparation of nitrite esters in vapor phase from nitrogen oxide, alcohol and an inert diluent. The reaction, which occurs between 50 and 140°C at or above atmospheric pressure, takes place into a first reaction zone optimizing the reaction N z O 3 + ROH → RONO + HONO and a second reaction zone optimizing the reaction ROH + HONO → RONO + H 2 0. The formation of acid by-products is minimized as compared to a unitary reaction zone.

Abstract:
The invention deals with the preparation of methyl or ethyl nitrite from the corresponding alcohols in a vapor phase process. A molar amount of nitrogen oxide composition containing a nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide molar ratio of greater than 1 is reacted in a vapor state in a reactor (76) with a molar amount of vaporized methanol or ethanol wherein the molar ratio of methanol or ethanol to the combined molar amount of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide is greater than 1, at a temperature of 10°C to 300°C in the presence of an inert gaseous diluent. This process may be run at relatively low temperature and pressure while minimizing the formation of by-products.
