Abstract

The butyl-substituted peroxyacyl nitrates n-C 4 H 9 C(O)-OONO 2 and i-C 4 H 9 C(O)OONO 2 have been synthesized in the liquid phase, prepared in-situ in the gas phase by sunlight irradiation of aldehyde-NO mixtures, measured by electron capture gas chromatography, and characterized in a number of gas-phase and liquid-phase tests. Gas-phase yields as a fraction of initial NO were 0.39 for the n-butyl isomer and 0.20 for the isobutyl isomer. The corresponding gas-phase aldehyde oxidation mechanisms are outlined. Thermal decomposition in the presence of excess NO yielded n-butanal and isobutanal as the major carbonyl products.(...)
