Which one of the following nitro-compounds does not react with nitrous acid?

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(3) [figure]

Solution

Nitrous acid reacts with a nitroalkane only through the α-hydrogen (H on the carbon bearing -NO2):

1° nitroalkane (RCH2NO2, two α-H) nitrolic acid, RC(NO2)=NOH

2° nitroalkane (R2CHNO2, one α-H) pseudonitrole, R2C(NO)NO2

3° nitroalkane (R3CNO2, no α-H) no reaction

(1) CH3CH2CH2NO2 – 1°, two α-H, reacts.

(2) (CH3)2CHCH2NO2 – 1°, two α-H, reacts.

(3) (CH3)3C-NO2 – 3°, no α-H, does not react.

(4) CH3COCH(CH3)NO2 – 2°, one α-H, reacts.

2-Methyl-2-nitropropane does not react with nitrous acid.
