Nitroethane Source

I actually found a bottle of this for my P2NP synth. All I need is N-butylamine now (having some trouble on that front)

You can use other amines too, for example Isobutylamine, that is easy obtainable via Valine a-amino acid decarboxylation.

thanks, i ask because this..
"Dissolve 140g (1 mole) of hexamethylenetetramine (urotropine, hexamine) and 157.5g (1.05 moles) sodium iodide (or 174g (1.05 moles) potassium iodide) in 1000ml of hot 95% ethyl alcohol (190 proof grain alcohol). 243g of bromosafrole (1 mole) is then added and the solution is allowed to stand until no precipitation occurs. A stream of HCl gas is then run into the mixture where the precipitate is hydrolyzed, dissolves and ammonium chloride precipitates. The ammonium chloride is filtered off and the alcohol of the filtrate is removed through distillation under reduced pressure. Purify the crude amine left by releasing the free base with NaOH solution (45g NaOH in 135 ml water). Extract the oil with ether (or toluene, methylene chloride etc.) and reconvert to the HCl salt with a stream of HCl gas. Filter the crystals formed from the ether."

I was interested in this product before and after researching I read that it contains 99% nitroethane ( Material safety data sheet )
But I read somewhere on the internet that someone had tried it and said it only contained a small amount of nitroethane (I think 10%).

I'm curious if they used "Step 6" and not another step in this family of products. AFAIK Step 6 is the only one that is primarily nitroethane. Step 8 has Acetone and Nitroethane.

go to universalcompanies dot come site there is the exact product and it says 99% nitroethane in the official technical sheet. I'm ordering, let's see.
