Kinetics of the basic hydrolysis of 1‐glyceryl mononitrate (1‐MNG) and 2‐glyceryl mononitrate (2‐MNG) were investigated in CO2‐free aqueous calcium hydroxide solutions. The hydrolysis reactions were carried out in a temperature‐controlled reactor vessel with provision for continuous N2 sparging of the reaction mixture. Both glyceryl nitrate esters hydrolyzed via second‐order reaction at 25°C. 2‐MNG in calcium hydroxide solution isomerized to 1‐MNG, which subsequently hydrolyzed to form NO . In strongly basic aqueous solutions of NaOH (30%), 2‐MNG is converted to glycidol and NO .
