Introduction | 2-nitropropane is a colorless liquid (normal temperature and pressure), which can be used as an organic solvent. It can be used as a solvent or additive for inks, paints, binders, varnishes, polymers, resins, fuels, and coatings. It can also be used as a synthetic reactant for other industrial chemicals, such as drugs for the synthesis of phentermine, P-chlorophenylbutylamine and p-xylene chloroacetamide. |
content analysis | an appropriate gas chromatograph equipped with a thermal conductivity detector was used. A 100 m x 120 stainless steel column was used and the packing was Porapak Q type (mesh). The carrier gas is helium, and the flow rate is 30ml/min. The temperature of the sample section is 250, the column temperature is 180, and the detector is 250. Injection volume 1.0/A, elution 30min. 2-nitropropane was the main peak, eluting at about 9min, and l-nitropropane was the second largest peak, eluting at about 13min. The relative residence time R of 2-nitropropane was measured., Calculate 0.7~2.0R. Total area of each peak. The Peak area of 2-nitrate and its propane should be not less than 94% of the total area. |
toxicity | ADI is not specified (FAO/WHO,2001). |
Use | It is used as a solvent for various resins, waxes, fats, dyes and coatings, and as an intermediate for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and the like. solvent and cosolvent for extraction, used as special solvent of ethylene and epoxy resin coating, rocket fuel, gasoline additive, etc., also used in organic synthesis. |
production method | 1. Obtained by nitration of propane. Propane is preheated in a preheater at 430-450 °c and then introduced into a glass-or silica-lined reaction column. There are several places in the reaction tower where 75% nitric acid can be injected into the internal propane gas. The reaction temperature is adjusted to 390-440 ℃, the pressure is 0.69-0.86MPa, and the molar ratio of propane to nitric acid is 5:1, the gas from the reaction column is cooled by the condenser, and the nitropropane is condensed with dilute nitric acid. The propane and gaseous oxides are recovered by the recovery column and the propane is recycled. The resulting product was nitromethane 10%-30%, nitroethane 20%-25%, 1-nitropropane 25%, 2-nitropropane 40%. The product can also be obtained by nitration of propylene. Nitropropane can also be obtained from unsaturated hydrocarbons such as propylene by gas phase or liquid phase nitration, or by liquid phase nitration of saturated hydrocarbons. obtained by reacting propane with nitric acid under pressure. |
