reaction of alcohols with nitric acid – more explosives
As you saw in the last section, to a first approximation, the behaviour of organic functional groups is unaffected by the larger environment of the molecules in which those groups are set. A good example is the reaction of some alcohols with nitric acid, HNO3 (or HONO2), to give so-called nitrate esters (once again focus on the principles being discussed and don’t worry about the names of the compounds):
Equation label: (5.16)
Thus, hexan-1-ol (Structure 5.1) yields hexyl nitrate, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2—O—NO2.
Two organic molecules that contain more than one alcohol functional group are glycerol (Reaction 5.17), made by heating natural fats or oils with sodium hydroxide, and pentaerythritol (Reaction 5.18).
