  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 produced industrially by treating propane with nitric acid at 350–450 °C. This exothermic reaction produces four industrially significant nitroalkanes: nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane. The reaction involves free radicals, such as CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 O., which arise via homolysis of the corresponding ...

  4. Nitro compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_compound

    The reaction produces fragments from the parent alkane, creating a diverse mixture of products; for instance, nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane are produced by treating propane with nitric acid in the gas phase (e.g. 350–450 °C and 8–12 atm).

    Iron metal in refluxing acetic acid [25] Samarium diiodide [26] Raney nickel, platinum on carbon, or zinc dust and formic acid or ammonium formate [6] α,β-Unsaturated nitro compounds can be reduced to saturated amines by: Catalytic hydrogenation over palladium-on-carbon; Iron metal

  6. Azeotrope tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azeotrope_tables

    This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.

  7. Berthelot's reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berthelot's_reagent

    Phenol in the Berthelot reagent can be replaced by a variety of phenolic reagents, the most common being sodium salicylate, which is significantly less toxic. [1] This has been used for blood urea nitrogen (BUN) determinations and commonly is used to determine water and soil total and ammonia-N. Replacement of phenol by 2-phenylphenol reduces interferences by a variety of soil and water ...

  8. 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.

  9. Alternative abiogenesis scenarios - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_abiogenesis...

    A different type of nucleic acid, such as peptide nucleic acid, threose nucleic acid or glycol nucleic acid, could have been the first to emerge as a self-reproducing molecule, later replaced by RNA. [ 85 ] [ 86 ] Larralde et al. , say that "the generally accepted prebiotic synthesis of ribose , the formose reaction, yields numerous sugars ...
