Swim was looking at the https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/methyliodide.html (https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/methyliodide.html)
document and found it interesting!
Can the same proc be used on propanole and isopropanole, or is the some inhibition of the reaction because of the bigger alkyl chain?
if it can be done, what reactiontimes should be used? Swim supposes that the amounts of chemicals should just be scaled up with regards to moleweight?
Thanks!

No amalgam. The references are found towards the end of this document: https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/nitroalkane.html (https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/chemistry/nitroalkane.html)
UTFSE and you will find people trying out the above method in practice.
