Abstract

Several mono- and bifunctional organic nitrates of atmospheric interest were prepared in a one-step synthesis, based on the reaction of alcohols with N2O5 (dinitrogen pentoxide) at low temperatures. The method is well suitable for micro-scale preparations. The compounds were characterized by GC/ECD, GC/NOy-specific detection, and GC/CI (chemical ionization) mass spectrometry.
