Description

5-Nitro-2-furonitrile is a nitro compound that is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds. 5-Nitro-2-furonitrile reacts with chloride ions, hydrogen chloride and acid to form nitro radicals, which have a kinetic energy of 5 kcal/mole. The resulting nitro radical can then react with an olefinic or alkoxy radical to form 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. This reaction releases the chloride ion and generates hydrochloric acid. 5-Nitro-2-furonitrile is also capable of reacting with azides such as phosphorus oxychloride, forming an azide radical that can be oxidized by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to form a nitric oxide radical. Nitric oxide radicals react with oxygen molecules to produce ozone, thereby releasing the chloride ion and generating hydrochloric acid.
