Abstract

The butyl-substituted peroxyacyl nitrates n-C4HgC (O)-OONO2 and i-C4HgC (O) OON02 have been synthesized in the liquid phase, prepared in-situ in the gas phase by sunlight irradiation of aldehyde-NO mixtures, measured by electron capture gas chromatography, and characterized in a number of gas-phase and liquid-phase tests. Gasphase yields as a fraction of initial NO were 0.39 for the n-butyl isomer and 0.20 for the isobutyl isomer. The ...
