- The synthesis of alkane dinitrates and theirs efficiency for cetane improver
-
Dinitrate compounds was prepared from alkane diols; 1,6-hexane diol, 1,8-octane diol, 1,10-decane diol, and 2-methyl-2,4-pentane diol using nitration reaction. These dinitrate compounds were used as cetane improver for diesel fuel. Results showed that the cetane number values has increased about 1 and 3 units for 0.05 and 0.10% by weight of dinitrate compounds, respectively, compared with base oil. Their efficiency is higher than commercial cetane improver, 2-ethylhexyl nitrate.

- Mercury-assisted solvolyses of alkyl halides. Simple procedures for the preparation of nitrate esters, acetate esters, alcohols and ethers
-
The reactions of a wide variety of alkyl halides with mercury(I) and/or (II) nitrate in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, mercury(II) acetate in acetic acid, aqueous mercury(II) perchlorate, and mercury(II) perchlorate in alcohol solvents have been investigated; as a result, simple high yield procedures for the conversion of alkyl halides into the corresponding nitrate esters, acetate esters, alcohols and ethers have been developed.
