Nitration-Peroxidation of Alkenes: A Selective Approach to β-Peroxyl Nitroalkanes was written by Chen, Yuanjin;Ma, Yangyang;Li, Liangkui;Jiang, Hao;Li, Zhiping. And the article was included in Organic Letters in 2019.Reference of 118-61-6 This article mentions the following:
Nitration-peroxidation of alkenes for the synthesis of β-peroxyl nitroalkanes has been developed by using tert-Bu nitrite and tert-Bu hydroperoxide. The method presents a new and selective difunctionalization of alkenes to introduce a nitro group and a peroxyl group across the double bonds of alkenes under mild conditions. A radical reaction pathway is proposed by exptl. and theor. studies. Of note, mixing a metal salt and peroxide can cause an explosion. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Ethyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (cas: 118-61-6Reference of 118-61-6).
Ethyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (cas: 118-61-6) belongs to esters. Esters perform as high-grade solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers, and are one of the largest classes of synthetic lubricants on the commercial market. Esters are more polar than ethers but less polar than alcohols. They participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen-bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen-bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols. This ability to participate in hydrogen bonding confers some water-solubility.Reference of 118-61-6
