Abstract

Nitric oxide containing traces of nitrogen dioxide reacts readily with liquid isobutylene to give nitrogen and a mixture of nitrated products. This mixture is believed to contain 6- nitrqisobutylene (22%); nitro-t-butanol (9%); traces of isobutylene pseudonitrosite, nitro-t- butyl nitrate and a-hydroxyiinbutyraldoxime; and major amounts (6B70) of a substance having the partial structure (nitro-t-butyl) 4iY202. The latter is very unstable and ...
