Can anyone forsee a problem with separating nitroethane from a mixture with ethyl acetate (or formate) and methanol by fractional distillation? The boiling points are fairly different. I don't know how to estimate the BP of the azeotrope. Do I just collect the fraction coming over at the BP of nitroethane?
The composition is:
35 % nitroethane; 60 % ethyl acetate; 5 % methanol
