Abstract
Hydrolysis reaction products of 1- and 2-nitropropane and 2-methyl-2-nitropropane were compared on a platinum–alumina catalyst, in the conditions of NO lean reduction by propene (gas phase, low concentrations and in the presence of water and oxygen). N 2O formed during the reaction decreased in the order 1-nitropropane > 2-nitropropane ⪢ 2-methyl-2-nitropropane, i.e. following the degree of substitution of the carbon atom in the α position of the nitro group. The Nef (19) reaction mechanism is proposed to explain this observation.
