Post by: MistaMiyagi on February 18, 2003, 08:36:00 AM

In reference to

producing nitroethane from sodium nitrite:

Can DCM be substituted for the pet. ether used to extract the nitroethane from the rxn mixture?

Simple question, maybe, but an important one that I have not found the answer to yet.  Perhaps I am using the wrong keywords for TFSE...

Anyways I look forward to hearing from you all.  Thanks!
