I've used TFSE, and everybody seems to like the idea of ethylamine-->nitroethane via oxidation, but nobody seems to have done anything about it. It seems to me like this would be a kick
ass synth, especially if all that's needed is ethylamine and a dichromate, or maybe a permanganate. Does anyone have thoughts on this reaction? I am thinking of performing a test synth using dichromate, or maybe permanganate, but I really have no idea of what the reaction conditions should be, and any help would be appreciated.
This has come up before, but it seems like as soon as someone is about to post the procedure for anything, the thread will end, as if everybody's keeping this a secret. If this is a Hive secret, and y'all don't want me posting about it, then by all means, PM me
, but if not, then please share your thoughts.
Who is that masked man?
