Abstract

The reaction of alkyl halides with metallic nitrites results in the formation of varying proportions of the isomeric nitroparaffins and alkyl nitrites. It has been shown by various investigators that the ratio of the isomers in the reaction mixture is dependent upon the nature of the particular alkyl radical and metal used.'Despite the very considerable interest in the subject, as shown by the list of publications, there has been no systematic or accurate ...
