Abstract
Analysis of the products indicates that at temperatures below –5°, the reaction of diethyl ether with copper(II) nitrate yields exclusively gaseous ethyl nitrite and complexed acetaldehyde. At higher temperatures, the acetaldehyde is further oxidised to acetate, with liberation of gaseous NO and NO2. Molecular mechanisms, not involving the NO3 radical, are suggested.Keywords
