General description

The photodissociation dynamics of butyl nitrite was studied using time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (TR-FTIR) emission spectroscopy. The effects of butyl nitrite on methyl cobalamin and 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate were studied.

Volatile nitrite in the form of amyl nitrite was used for 100 years for the treatment of angina pectoris. In spite of recognized toxicity, its use in this form was considered safe. During the 1960s prescriptions were not required for

The uptake of butyl nitrite by rats (500 g, one rat/chamber) was determined over a 5-min exposure period. About 44% of the starting amount (771-3855 ppm) of n-butyl nitrite was consumed in 5 min. Three rats per exposure concentration were

A method for direct functionalization of three positions including an unactivated C-H bond of aliphatic alkenes using tert-butyl nitrite and molecular oxygen to give γ-lactols has been developed. The present reaction proceeds through a sequence of radical processes involving oxynitration

tert-Butyl nitrite was identified as a safe and chemoselective nitrating agent that provides preferentially mononitro derivatives of phenolic substrates in the presence of potentially competitive functional groups. On the basis of our control experiments, we propose that the reaction proceeds

The use of volatile butylnitrite in place of sodium nitrite for the in vitro production of methemoglobin was explored in studies of G6PD-deficient red cells and for measurements of the red cell methemoglobin reductase activity. It was found that butylnitrite
