|Section2= |Section7= |Section8= }} Nitroethane is an organic compound having the chemical formula C2H5NO2. Similar in many regards to nitromethane, nitroethane is an oily liquid at standard temperature and pressure. Pure nitroethane is colourless and has a fruity odor. == Preparation == Nitroethane 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.〔Sheldon B. Markofsky “Nitro Compounds, Aliphatic” Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2002. .〕 Alternatively, nitroethane can be produced by the Victor Meyer reaction with either bromoethane or iodoethane with silver nitrite in a diethyl ether solvent or with the Kornblum Modification which uses the prior mentioned alkyl halides with the less soluble sodium nitrite salt in either a dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethylformamide solvent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nitroethane」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
