nitromethane

ni·tro·meth·ane

N0118100 (nī′trō-mĕth′ān′)n. A colorless, oily liquid, CH₃NO₂, used in making dyes and resins, in organic synthesis, as a fuel in racecar engines, and as a rocket propellant.

nitromethane

(ˌnaɪtrəʊˈmiːθeɪn) n (Elements & Compounds) an oily colourless liquid obtained from methane and used as a solvent and rocket fuel and in the manufacture of synthetic resins. Formula: CH3NO2

Nitromethane

nitromethane

[¦nī·trō′meth‚ān] (organic chemistry) CH₃NO₂ A liquid nitroparaffin compound; oily and colorless; boils at 101°C; used as a monopropellant for rockets, in chemical synthesis, and as an industrial solvent for cellulosics, resins, waxes, fats, and dyestuffs.

Nitromethane

CH₃NO₂, the simplest aliphatic nitro compound; a colorless liquid with an odor of bitter almonds. Boiling point, 101.2°C; density, 1.138 g/cm³ (20°C).

Nitromethane is soluble in water and is miscible with ordinary organic solvents (except paraffins); it forms an azeotrope with water (boiling point, 83.6°C; 76.4 percent nitromethane). It condenses readily with aldehydes, ketones, and ethylene oxide. For example, the reaction with formaldehyde is

CH₃NO₂ + CH₂O → HOCH₂CH₂NO₂

In industry, nitromethane is usually produced by degradative nitration of propane. It is used mainly as a solvent (for example, for cellulose ester varnishes and vinyl polymers), for the extraction of aromatic hydrocarbons, and in the production of chloropicrin and a number of explosives. Nitromethane is poisonous; its maximum permissible concentration in the air in working areas is 0.01 percent.
