Abstract

Sodium or ammonium persulfates convert salts of primary nitro compounds into secondary vicinal dinitro compounds (RCHNGzCHNOzR) and aldehydes. Silver ion catalyzes the oxidation-reduction reactions, and advantageous specific procedures using buffers and heterogeneous extractants are described for effecting oxidative dimerization, Experimental methods have been developed which minimize transformation of the oxidative dimers to ...
