  • Process for preparing halogenoalkylnitrates
    Patent number: 7745496
    Abstract: A process for preparing a compound of formula (I) X-(CH2)n-ONO2??(I) wherein: X is a halogen atom selected from Cl, Br, I; n is an integer from 3 to 6; said process comprising the slow addition of a compound of formula (II) X-(CH2)n-OH??(II) wherein X and n are as defined above to a nitrating agent selected from the group consisting of concentrated nitric acid/concentrated sulfuric acid (sulfonitric mixture), nitric acid alone, NaNO2 in trifluoroacetic acid, nitronium salts such as NO2BF4 and an organic solvent selected from the group consisting of CH2Cl2, CHCl3, CCl4, perfluorohexane, perfluoroheptane. The invention refers also to solutions containing: a compound of general formula (I) and a solvent selected from the group consisting of CH2Cl2, CHCl3, CCl4, perfluorohexane, perfluoroheptane, characterized in that the compound of formula (I) is present in a concentration not higher than 20% by weight.
