Nitric Acid → HCID 178511808, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Applicants have cost-effectively synthesized Histidine Nitrate by combining nitric acid and Histidine, mixing with water, and leaving to crystallize. Further nitratization can take place, yielding Histidine Dinitrate or Histidine Trinitrate. An alternative implementation comprises using Nitrous Acid (HNO2) instead of Nitric Acid (HNO3), thus yielding Histidine Nitrite. Histidine Nitrite has the same effects as Histidine 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 Histidine Nitrate-Orotate.
