Fatty acid nitration is induced by NO and nitrite-derived species reacting via multiple mechanisms, ultimately involving homolytic addition of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) to the double bond.

Let's imagine we are mixing a common acid like nitric acid and a common alkali - sodium hydroxide. When they react water and a salt called sodium nitrate is produced. Katie: Oh, OK. So ...
