Abstract

The reaction of ethyl bromoacetate with sodium nitrite occurs rapidly in dimethylformaniide (DMF), but the product is not ethyl nitroacetate; instead, depending on the temperature, oxalic acid or the furoxane I1 is produced. Treatment of benzyl bromide with sodium nitrite yields benzoic acid as the main product at 25" whereas at-16'phenylnitromethane is obtained in 55% yield; even at-16', prolonged standing of the reaction mixture gives the ...
