This is what my current research project is on, and this will also be the topic of my literature review.


 * Synthesis of Nitrate Esters:**
 * Nitronium Ion (Conc HNO3 / Conc H2SO4)
 * Acetic Anhydride (CH3COOCOCH3) / Fuming Nitric Acid (>95% HNO3)
 * Trifluoroacetic Anhydride (CF3COOCOCF3) / LiNO3
 * [|Trifluoroacetic Anhydride/LiNO3]
 * Phosgene (COCl2) / AgNO3
 * [|COCl2/AgNO3]
 * Nitryl Fluoride
 * [|Nitryl Fluoride]
 * Silver Nitrate (AgNO3)
 * [|AgNO3]
 * Dinitrogen Pentoxide
 * [|N2O5]
 * [|Decomposition of Nitrate Esters]
 * Equilibrium Constant and Thermal Stabilities of nitrates
 * [|Equilibrium/Stability]


 * Applications of Nitrate Esters:**
 * [|Vasodialators]
 * [|Energetic Nitrate Esters]
 * [|Explosive Properties of Nitrate Esters]
 * [|Pharmacological Preconditioning Agent]
 * [|Detection of Nitrate Ester Bomb Residues]


 * [3,3] Sigmatropic Rearrangements (Cope Rearrangement)**
 * Basic conditions for [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangements
 * Bullvalene **[This could make for very interesting chemistry JCB]**
 * Constanly undergoes rearrangement
 * No C-C bond is permanent


 * Free Radical Cyclizations**
 * Backbites
 * Tandem Cyclizations
 * Cylcizations of Baldwin **Disfavoured** Systems
