nitroethane synthesis
nitroethane synthesisNitroethane is produced industrially by treating propane with nitric acid at 350–450 °C. This exothermic reaction produces four industrially significant nitroalkanes: nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane. The reaction involves free radicals, such as CH3CH2CH2O., which arise via homolysis of the corresponding nitrite ester. These alkoxy radicals are susceptible to C—C fragmentation reactions, which explains the formation of a mixture of products.
Alternatively, nitroethane can be produced by the Victor Meyer reaction of haloethanes such as chloroethane, bromoethane, or iodoethane with silver nitrite in diethyl ether or THF. The Kornblum modification of this reaction uses sodium nitrite in either a dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethylformamide solvent.
nitroethane to ethanamine/how is nitroethane converted into ethylamine/prepare ethanamine from nitroethane
Nitroethane can be converted into corresponding ethylamine by doing the reduction reaction of nitroethane. By passing hydrogen gas in the presence of finely divided nickel, platinum or palladium, nitroethane can be reduced to ethylamine.

nitroethane from ethanol/ethanol to nitroethane
Ethanol is heated at 443 k in presence of excess of concentrated sulphuric acid to obtain ethene. This reaction can be given by following equation: CH3CH2OH. CH2=CH2+H2O.The conversion of ethane into nitroethane can be done by first converting ethane into iodoethane which is done by treating ethane with iodine in the presence of iodic acid(HIO3). The obtained iodoethane is then treated with silvernitrite to get nitroethane. C2H5I+ AgNO2→ C2H5NO2+ AgI.
