Alkanes C6-C10 at 15-20°C react with a mixture of concentrated HNO3 and acetic anhydride to afford nitrates of secondary alcohols in the yield up to 70%. Acetates of secondary alcohols, acetates and nitrates of β-nitroalcohols form in small quantity. Isooctane reacts under milder conditions to give a nitrate of β-nitroalcohol.

The yields of alkyl nitrates formed in the NOx-air photooxidations of the homologous series of n-alkanes from ethane through n-octane have been determined at 299 +/- 2 K and 735 torr total pressure for two different chemical systems.Alkyl peroxy radicals were generated by reaction of the n-alkanes with OH radicals (generated from the photolysis of methyl nitrite in air) or Cl atoms (from photolysis of Cl2 in air).The alkyl nitrate yields obtained from the two systems, corrected for secondary reactions, were in agreement within the experimental errors and increased monotonically with the carbon number of the n-alkane, from x-air photooxidations of the large n-alkanes.
