Nitric Acid → HCID 86628849, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Applicants have cost-effectively synthesized Leucine Nitrate by combining nitric acid and Leucine, mixing with water, and leaving to crystallize. Further nitratization can take place, yielding Leucine Dinitrate or Leucine Trinitrate. An alternative implementation comprises substituting the Amino Acids Valine or Isoleucine for Leucine. Another alternative implementation comprises substituting Nitrous Acid (HNO2) for Nitric Acid (HNO3), thus yielding Leucine Nitrite. Leucine Nitrite has the same effects as Leucine Nitrate, the only difference being that it requires one less step to yield Nitric Oxide (NO—). Mixed salts may also be used, such as in the non-limiting example of Leucine Nitrate-Orotate.
