Abstract
The condensation of nitromethane with paraformaldehyde in the presence of catalytic amounts of KF and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide in a medium of isopropanol does not afford stable 1,3-dihydroxypropanenitronic acid. In the neutralization of 2-nitro-1,3-propanediol sodium salt by anhydrous CF3COOH, 2-nitro-1,3-propanediol and 2-nitro-1-propen-3-ol were identified.
