2-Methyl-2-nitropropane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colourless liquid after melting

Uses

2-Methyl-2-nitropropane is a useful reagent in the preparation of various other chemical compounds including amines, alkynylnitrones, amides and nitriles.

General Description

Photodissociation of 2-methyl-2-nitropropane at 193 and 248nm leads to the formation of OH fragment and electronically excited NO₂. Hydrolysis reaction of 2-methyl-2-nitropropane in the presence of platinum-alumina catalyst yields N₂O.

Synthesis

2-Methyl-2-nitropropane was prepared as follows: 130gKMnO4, 600mL water into a 1L three-necked flask, strong stirring, 29mL (20g) t-butylamine through the dropping funnel for 10min drops into the flask, the temperature was gradually increased to 55 ?? in 2h, stirring at a constant temperature for 3h, water vapor distillation . Discard the aqueous layer, the organic phase was diluted by adding 50mL of ether, and washed with 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid (2??10mL), water (1??10mL) to obtain 2-methyl-2-nitropropane sequentially.
