binding water within chemical reactions

Madandcrazy - 8-2-2006 at 09:05

I have a idea using a couple of several chemical converting or binding water within chemical reactions, for example when
sensible chemical can not nitrated with H2SO4 or useable as
a solvent.

Maybe the follows are convenient:

TFA - triflouroacetic acid
TFAA - triflouroacetic acid anhydride
TFA, TFAA and acetic acid anhydride
maybe too boron triflouride complexes are sense and
are more stable like the acetic acid anhydride itself.

Thanks.

P2O5 (Diphosphorpentoxide) is used together with 100% HNO3 (Anhydrous Nitric Acid) to Nitrate Cellulose to the Trinitrate stage (or Hexanitrate, as some would rather refer too).

Igniting Cotton which has been Nitrated in this manner results in a load "bang".:o Quit a surprise, when you are used to igniting Cellulose which has been Nitrated by the conventional HNO3/H2SO4 mix.
