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.
Claims4
A compound of formula III-1:
- wherein
- R11 is an unsubstituted linear C2-C17 alkyl;
- R12 is an unsubstituted linear C1-C8 alkyl,
- or R11, R12, and the carbon to which they are attached form a C9-C11 cycloalkyl ring;
- provided that
- when R12 is unsubstituted linear C1-C8 alkyl, the total number of carbons in R11 and R12, together with the carbon to which they are attached, is 6 to 18;
- and
- the compound is not 2-amino-2-methyl-1-hexanol, 2-amino-2-ethyl-1-hexanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-octanol, 2-amino-2-butyl-1-hexanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-dodecanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-tridecanol, 2 amino-2-methyl-1-pentadecanol, or 2-amino-2-hexyl-1-decanol.
