Hi
For almost A YEAR swim is looking for an attractive way to make nitroethane that will rush you to the lab immediately to experiment. But he has no luck
He has an idea. He wants to get to the holy molecule through triethylamine.
Is it possible to ozidatively cleveage that Et3N to EtNO2 via a strong oxidizer?
And once he read somewhere on this site that EtNO2 can be made via HEtSO4 + NaNO2 not via the good (!) 'ol dry way (OHHH I CAND BEAR IT!!) -by mixing etOH+H2SO4 then distillin w/a NaNO2 sol. and NE distills over w/ steam- but cannnot find that post : (
or is there another way (that you think best) to the sacred little nitro.
Thanx
