Nitroethane is a harmful chemical compound which is present at room temperature as a colorless liquid. It has an ignition temperature of 410 ° C and a flash point of 28 ° C.

Use

Nitroethane is needed in organic chemistry for the synthesis of various substances, as bound to the nitro group carbon atom has an acidic character by resonance. So make nitroalkanes salts with bases. One of the most important reactions here is the Henry reaction; depending on conditions, nitroalkenes or nitro alcohols can form. This reaction is an important way for the formation of C- C bonds. In addition, nitroethane is suitable as a specialty solvent. In Nail Design nitroethane is used as bargaining Help using.
