Nitrocarbons [Hardcover]

Nitrocarbons are good nitrating agents, oxidants, and electron acceptors, and each known nitrocarbon has its own unique and interesting chemistry. Interest in synthesizing both known and new ('unknown') nitrocarbons stems from their value as potential explosive and propellant ingredients. In addition, the new chemistry developed in efforts to synthesize nitrocarbons has led to applications to many other synthetic problems.From the Contents:

Summary

Arnold T. Nielsen is the author of Nitrocarbons, published by Wiley.Organic Nitro Chemistry Series Nitrocarbons Arnold T. Nielsen Nitrocarbons provides detailed coverage of the syntheses, reactions, and physical properties of the five known nitrocarbons. The group of new (unknown) nitrocarbons is also discussed. Nitrocarbons act well as nitrating agents, oxidants, and electron acceptors, and each known nitrocarbon has its own unique and interesting chemistry. Interest in synthesizing both known and unknown nitrocarbons stems from their value as potential explosive and propellant ingredients. In addition, the new chemistry developed in efforts to synthesize nitrocarbons has led to applications in many other synthetic problems. The author, one of the world's leading authorities on the synthesisl“I
