Use | Used as an intermediate for blood pressure enhosin, rocket fuel, and organic synthesis reagent. tert-butyl nitrite is used to prepare aryl azides from aromatic amines together with azido trimethylsilane (azidotrimethylsilane). |
Production method | Tert-butyl nitrite can be prepared by reacting chloro-tert-butane and silver nitrate in ether, or at 25-30 ℃ The mixed gas of nitrogen dioxide or nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide is introduced into tert-butanol for reaction, or it is prepared by reacting tert-butanol with sodium nitrite and sulfuric acid. |
