Nitric Acid → HCID 178512937, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

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