Abstract
The invention comprises esters of nitroallyl alcohol having the formula:- <FORM:0929378/IV(a)/1> wherein R represents a C1-3 alkyl radical. The compounds are prepared by distilling a diester of 2-nitropropanediol having the formula:- <FORM:0929378/IV(a)/2> The above diester starting materials may be prepared in situ by condensing an appropriate acid halide or anhydride with 2-nitro1,3-propanediol. The above esters of nitroallyl alcohol react with compounds containing labile hydrogen, such as dinitroethane, to produce highly nitrated compounds, such as 2,2,4,6,6-pentanitroheptane.
