  2. Nef reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nef_reaction

    The reaction has been the subject of several literature reviews. [1] [2] [3] The Nef reaction: 1. Salt of a nitroalkane 3. Ketone 4. Nitrous oxide. The reaction was reported in 1894 by the chemist John Ulric Nef, [4] who treated the sodium salt of nitroethane with sulfuric acid resulting in an 85–89% yield of nitrous oxide and at least 70% ...

  3. Nitroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroethane

    Nitroethane is an organic compound having the chemical formula C 2 H 5 NO 2. Similar in many regards to nitromethane , nitroethane is an oily liquid at standard temperature and pressure. Pure nitroethane is colorless and has a fruity odor.

  4. Nitromethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromethane

    Nitromethane reacts with solutions of sodium hydroxide or methoxide in alcohol to produce an insoluble salt of nitromethane. This substance is a sensitive explosive which reverts to nitromethane under acidic conditions and decomposes in water to form another explosive compound, sodium methazonate, which has a reddish-brown color:

  5. Nitro compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    In the so-called Ter Meer reaction (1876) named after Edmund ter Meer, [14] the reactant is a 1,1-halonitroalkane: The reaction mechanism is proposed in which in the first slow step a proton is abstracted from nitroalkane 1 to a carbanion 2 followed by protonation to an aci-nitro 3 and finally nucleophilic displacement of chlorine based on an ...

  6. 1-Nitropropane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Nitropropane

    1-nitropropane is produced industrially by the reaction of propane and nitric acid. This reaction forms four nitroalkanes: nitromethane , nitroethane , 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane . 1-nitropropane is also a byproduct of the process for making 2-nitropropane, which is done by vapour phase nitration of propane.

  7. Salt metathesis reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_metathesis_reaction

    A neutralization reaction is a type of double replacement reaction. A neutralization reaction occurs when an acid reacts with an equal amount of a base. This reaction usually produces a salt. One example, hydrochloric acid reacts with disodium iron tetracarbonyl to produce the iron dihydride: 2 HCl + Na 2 Fe(CO) 4 → 2 NaCl + H 2 Fe(CO) 4

  8. Methyl nitrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_nitrite

    Note that nitrogen is a better nucleophile than oxygen and most nitrites would react via an S N 2-like mechanism and the major product would be nitromethane. For example, sodium and potassium nitrite reacting with iodomethane would produce mostly nitromethane, with methyl nitrite as the minor product.

  9. Nitroacetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroacetic_acid

    Reactions. Nitroacetic acid can be used in the production of nitromethane by thermal decarboxylation of a corresponding salt to at 80 °C. [2] References This page ...
