Abstract:
This invention relates to a new process for preparing 4-nitro-oxy-methyl- benzoic acid, comprising the following steps: a) reaction of 4-chloromethyl-benzoic acid with silver nitrate and in the presence of an acid as a catalyst in acetonitrile at reflux temperature, followed by cooling and adding of a polar aprotic solvent; b) separation of the silver salts by filtration, followed by washout with a polar aprotic solvent; c) precipitation of the 4-nitro-oxy-methyl-benzoic acid with water from the filtrate obtained in step b); and d) drying of the 4-nitro-oxy-methyl-benzoic acid.
Abstract:
A process for the continuous production of a compound of Formula (II), HO-R1-ONO2 (II) wherein R1 is a straight chain alkyl radical having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, in a two-phase solvent system, comprising contacting a compound of Formula (I), HO-R1-OH (I) wherein R1 is as defined above, with nitric acid in the presence of a first solvent, wherein the compound of Formula (II) is continuously extracted into a second solvent, and the reaction is carried out in a mixing microreactor which provides a power loss of at least 1.3 times the power loss provided under identical conditions by a circular cross-section straight-channel microreactor having an internal diameter equal to the average hydraulic diameter of the mixing microreactor and a length equal to the length of the mixing microreactor.

Abstract:
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Salpetersäureestem (Nitroestern) von einwertigen Alkoholen, bei dem ein einwertiger Alkohol oder eine Mischung einwertiger Alkohole mit Salpetersäure in Gegenwart von Schwefelsäure unter adiabatischen Reaktionsbedingungen umgesetzt wird.
Abstract:
A process for preparing 1,2- and 1,3-dinitrate esters from polyols containing 1,2- or 1,3-diol fragments involves using an alkyl or aryl boronic acid to form a cyclic boronate ester derivative which is then reacted with dinitrogen pentoxide to directly generate the dinitrate ester. In the cyclic ester form the 1,2- or 1,3-hydroxyl groups are protected and other reactions may then be carried out on other parts of the molecule of which the fragment forms a part, leaving the dinitrate ester to be produced subsequently in the final step. High yields are obtained at both stages.
