nitroalkanes
« on: September 01, 2001, 10:27:00 PM »
While searching nitroethane in the US patent literature I found these patents which look interesting.

4319059 XCH3COOH + NaNO2  --Mg++-->  CH3NO2
4431842 ROH + HNO3 --CaCl2--> RNO2
4073798 MDA related compounds (amines and nitro compounds) made from benzaldehydes and nitroalkanes
4015011 Benzaldehyde and nitroalkane synth, Pd reduction, Eph and halo-Eph compounds reduced
4004023 MD-PNPs insecticidal

US4319059 is cool shit. So, obtaining the nitroethane, nitropropane, etc. from the reaction mixture is as easy as crashing it out with dH2O?

I saw a post by Rhodium before on this type of reaction.  Alpha-haloalkanoic acids generally aren't OTC, but don't seem to be watched either.  Also, lactic acid might be easily converted into its alpha-halo form.  The possibilities......
If you're interested in nitroethane.

Yes, right! I didn't think of lactic acid as a precursor, but as you say, it is a good alternative. There is also the reaction (in Org. Syn. f ex) which produces alpha-bromo derivatives of carboxylic acids using PBr3, either as is, or using red P + bromine.

Rhodium: Vogel has a many procedures in synthesizing alpha-bromo derivatives of carboxylic acids.

I don't have any references on lactic acid or anything on alpha-halo acids.  You might try here.

This looks interesting, too.
