she followed the instructions on rhodiums page https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/nitropropene.cth.txt (http://)
(http://) with a few changes:
she had only lab-grade Pd/C 10% so she used only half of the amount given in the procedure and followed cherrie baby's advice and used some more am.form. (this stuff is cheap).
she used eth-o-eth to xtract and formed bright white crystals w/ conc. H2SO4.
next time she'll use home made Pd/C 5% i let you know how it turns out.
hope this helps

This electroreduction of nitropropenes and nitrostyrenes really looks good. All the materials can bee easily found or made. The only thing I am unsure of is what to use as a divider in the cell? Condom?
