Properties and stability
1. Use litmus paper to test whether the nitroethane aqueous solution is acidic. The pH of 0.01mol/L aqueous solution is 5.20; the pH of saturated aqueous solution is 3.85; the pH of water-saturated nitroethane is 3.75.
2. Like nitromethane, addition reaction occurs with carbonyl compounds in alkaline solution to generate β-nitroalcohol.
3. Form an explosive mixture with air, with an explosion limit of 3%-5% (volume). It has a high heat of adsorption, and a large amount of anhydrous nitroethane or its vapor adsorbed on activated carbon will cause combustion.
4. Stability[18] Stable
5. Incompatible substances[19] Strong reducing agents, strong acids, strong bases, amines
6. Conditions to avoid contact [20] Vibration , heating
7. Polymerization hazard[21] No polymerization
8. Decomposition products[ 22] Nitrogen oxides
Storage method
Storage Precautions[23] Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated non-combustible warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37℃. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, acids, alkalis, etc., and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
In industry, the direct gas phase nitrification method of low carbon alkanes is mainly used for production. Using methane as raw material, only nitromethane can be produced; using ethane as raw material, nitromethane and nitroethane can be produced; using propane as raw material, methane and nitroethane can be produced and four products: 1-nitropropane and 2-nitropropane. If ethane and propane are used as raw materials, the product ratio can be changed by changing conditions.
Purpose
1. This product has good dissolving ability for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl acetate, etc., and is used as a solvent and rocket for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, resin, wax, fat, and dyes. Dyes, also used in organic synthesis.
2. It is an excellent polar solvent with good dissolving ability for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl acetate, etc. It is used as a solvent and rocket fuel for resins, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, waxes, fats and dyes, etc. It is also an important intermediate for synthetic pesticides, medicines and tree dyes.
3. Used in organic synthesis as a solvent for nitrocellulose and other resins, waxes, fats, dyes, etc. [24]
