Abstract
The present invention includes a method for producing 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane, particularly in high yields, using a peroxidase enzyme site and reacting propane-2-nitronate at the enzyme under appropriate conditions. Peroxidases such as chloroperoxidase, soybean peroxidase and horseradish peroxidase are used. High yields include those amounts that increasingly aid in the manufacture of commercial quantities of 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane.
