Abstract
Decomposition flames of butane-2,3-diol dinitrate and butane-1,4-diol dinitrate have been studied at atmospheric pressure by stabilizing flat flames upon the liquid surfaces and measuring product concentrations and temperature profiles. Products were generally analysed by infra-red methods, and an in situ spectroscopic method in the visible region has been employed to estimate the significant nitrogen dioxide concentrations in the flames. The results indicate that these esters, in contrast to those mononitrates so far studied, break down in a unimolecular fashion, overall reactions being: ▪ Brief examinations of the flames of acetaldehydenitrogen dioxide mixtures and formaldehydenitrogen dioxideethylene mixtures have been made for comparison with those of the nitric esters, to which, in fact, they show a great similarity.
