some greenish NaNT


I synthesize some NaNT several days ago,as the following pictures shows——

It's strange that it should be light green,while pure NaNT is colorless.

Everything is alright before concerntrating the NaNT filtrate,but after adding in some HNO3 solution,the NaNT filtrate turned light green.

before add in HNO3 solution——

after add in HNO3 solution and modulate pH to 4——

after concerntrate the NaNT filtrate to 40ml in volume,it turned to dark green,I got a start.——

then I got some crude greenish NaNT in pieces with some inorganic impurities ,most of which is NaNO3

recrystalize twice with 150ml acetone and dry in air——

it comes from non-exact pH control during destruction of the CuNT2HNT. it is harmless in all uses of NaNT.

Thanks a lot.I added a little more NaOH solution into the CuNT2HNT ,and the pH turned to 10,I had thought it wouldn't make any difference.
By the way,is there any good ways to seperate the greenish substance?Though I know it's harmless,yet I desire some pure NaNT for collection.

Let an acetone solution of NaNt evaporate very slowly. the green stuff is a bit more soluble and crystals of NaNT will form that are pretty much colorless, or maybe have a trace of yellow.

But in this way will get a great amount of NaNT lost,for it's high solubility in acetone.Is there any better ways,such as extraction or something else?Is the yellow stuff Na5-ATZ?Thanks in advance.

Sodium nitrotetrezole maybe. I'm unclear as well.

It's N-acetyl-N-nitrosotryptophan - 'snot often the word cunt comes up without a flame war in progress . . .
