Abstract
Provided is a process for the formation of nitrated compounds by the nitration of hydrocarbon compounds with dilute nitric acid. Also provided are processes for preparing industrially useful downstream derivatives of the nitrated compounds, as well as novel nitrated compounds and derivatives, and methods of using the derivatives in various applications.
Claims12
A compound of formula II-1:
- wherein
- R9 is unsubstituted linear C2-C17 alkyl;
- R10 is H, unsubstituted linear C1-C8 alkyl, or CH2OH,
- or R9, R10, and the carbon to which they are attached form an eight membered cycloalkyl ring;
- provided that
- when the compound is selected from formula II-1, if R10 is H or unsubstituted linear C1-C8 alkyl, the total number of carbons in R9 and R10, together with the carbon to which they are attached, is 5 to 18;
- or if R10 is CH2OH, R9 is unsubstituted linear-C12-C13 alkyl;
- and the compound is not 2-nitro-1-hexanol, 2-nitro-1-heptanol, 2-nitro-1-octanol, 2-methyl-2-nitro-1-pentanol, 2-methyl-2-nitro-1-hexanol, 2-methyl-2-nitro-1-heptanol, or 2-nitro-1-dodecanol.
