No idea what went wrong, no testing equipment. The resulting amphetamine phosphate has no effect at all.

Make sure you have phenylnitropropene and not nitrostyrene. Perhaps you were sold an analogue, and you received phenylethylamine.

What is the best way to check whether the nitroethane I used to make p2np has been replaced or diluted with nitromethane? I have collected the basic physical properties of both reagents and products and to me the boiling point of the nitro compound seems the most logical. Melting points of the products are very close. The problem is if the BP comes up in between the n.ethane and n.methane boiling point, then it must be a pain to separate them by fractional distillation.
The other value could be the density which is also quite different. Experts please add your opinion what is the easiest best way to ensure we are using the right reagents.

Hello. Nitromethane and nitroethane have different b.p. 101 and 114 °C respectively. You can check it and carry out fractional distillation. Take it into account that these substances quite toxic and explosive. So far as nitrostyrene and P2NP concerned, just use precise melting point apparatus. It is better to compare known pure P2NP with synthesized new P2NP in one apparatus to check difference. Also, carry out several measurements in order to exclude errors. Count average mp for each sample.

Thank you Patton. I don`t have any suspicion that my nitroethane is not pure, but having read some comments, I thought it would be better to check, so I will start with the boiling point of my nitro and if it boils over 110C then I will rest assured. It is good to know what to do and check anyway, before putting in a lot of work and finding that the end-product is ineffective .
