its a lot easier and less nasty to do.Post 315979 (https://www.thevespiary.org/talk/index.php?topic=11968.msg31597900#msg31597900)
(Barium: "A modification of Beaker´s method for 2C-H", Novel Discourse) is an alternative too, as well as his reduction by HCOOK which is simpler and quickerPost 382254 (https://www.thevespiary.org/talk/index.php?topic=12193.msg38225400#msg38225400)

(Barium: "Another reduction method", Novel Discourse) of the nitroalkane to the amine with hypophosphite that do not work.Post 382254 (https://www.thevespiary.org/talk/index.php?topic=12193.msg38225400#msg38225400)
(Barium: "A great CTH method", Novel Discourse) , it take less time than the CTH with ammonium formate, it is better.Denatured alcohol contains other things besides ethanol and methanol which could really screw up a reaction. Denature alcohol also contains a pretty heft amount of water which could really screw things over.
Industrial methylated spirit contains EtOH, MeOH, and a significant amount of H2O. Ethanol is also available denatured with just Et2O and no H2O, or with just 5% MeOH/5% IPA and no H2O, etc...
