Abstract
From a 0.368 M solution of D-mannitol hexanitrate in pyridine at 30 ± 5 °C. a gas consisting of nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, and nitrogen was evolved and D-mannitol-1,2,4,5,6-pentanitrate and pyridinium nitrate were recovered after dilution with water. The amount and composition of the gas mixture were sensitive to traces of moisture in the pyridine. Establishment of a material balance for the reaction indicated that approximately two moles of pyridine suffered ring cleavage while 0.25 mole of hexanitrate was completely denitrated and 0.75 mole of pentanitrate was formed. Some features of the mechanism of the denitration reaction are discussed.
