BRANCHED DECYL NITRATES AND THE USE THEREOF AS COMBUSTION IMPROVERS AND/OR CETANE NUMBER IMPROVERS IN FUELS

摘要

Branched decyl nitrates of the formula R1 R2 CH-CH 2-O-NO 2, wherein R1 denotes an n-propyl or iso-propyl group and R2 is a linear or branched alkyl group having 5 carbon atoms, are suited as combustion improvers and/or cetane number improvers in fuels.
