METHOD FOR PRODUCING ALKYL NITRITE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an industrially suitable method for efficiently producing an alkyl nitrite from nitric acid (e.g. byproduct nitric acid in a method for producing an alkyl nitrite from nitrogen monoxide, oxygen and an alkanol as starting materials). ;SOLUTION: This method for producing the alkyl nitrite comprises contacting an aqueous solution containing nitric acid and an alkanol with a nitrogen monoxide gas, wherein the nitrogen monoxide gas substantially contains no nitrogen oxides which may be formed due to the presence of molecular oxygen in the nitrogen monoxide gas.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
