Safety Profile

Explodes above 180°C. Violentreaction with Lewis acids (e.g., sulfuric acid, tin(IV)chloride, boron trifluoride) results in gas evolution. Whenheated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx. Seealso NITRATES.

USE OF NITROOXY ORGANIC MOLECULES IN FEED FOR REDUCING METHANE EMISSION IN RUMINANTS, AND/OR TO IMPROVE RUMINANT PERFORMANCE

The present invention relates to a method for reducing the production of methane emanating from the digestive activities of a ruminant and/or for improving ruminant animal performance by using, as active compound at least one organic molecule substituted at any position with at least one nitrooxy group, or a salt thereof, which is administrated to the animal together with the feed. The invention also relates to the use of these compounds in feed and feed additives such as premix, concentrates and total mixed ration (TMR) or in the form of a bolus.

Direct oxidative installation of nitrooxy group at benzylic positions and its transformation into various functionalities

C-H Nitrooxylation at benzylic positions has been achieved by employing the N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) catalyst/cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) reagent system. The nitrooxy groups were demonstrated to function as tentative hydroxy protecting groups, as well as excellent leaving groups for N- and C-substitution reactions. Hence, the present method offers a unique way to synthesize diverse O-, N-, or C-functionalized benzylic compounds from simple alkyl aromatics.
