Abstract

The purity of methyl nitrite prepared by the esterification of methanol with aqueous nitrous acid was determined by absorbing gaseous samples in solutions of acidic potassium permanganate and hydriodic acid. Nitrate formed in the oxidation reaction was determined by steam distillation, and iodomethane formed in hydriodic acid was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The method was used to evaluate purification procedures.
