Abstract

AbstractThe action of aqueous nitrous acid on 2‐chloromethylpropene‐1 (methallylchloride) results in the formation of an unstable addition product which is converted into 1‐chloro‐2‐methyl‐3‐nitropropene‐1 upon treatment with alkali. For this new compound, the name nitro isocrotyl chloride is proposed. Its structure was established by ozonolysis, which yielded nitroacetone and hydrogen chloride.Dinitrogen tetroxide acts upon methallyl chloride to give a nitronitrite, which may be converted into a nitroalcohol upon treatment with methanol. This nitroalcohol has the probable structure formula 2‐chloromethyl‐1‐nitro‐propanol‐2.
