Theory | Nitromethane to Nitroethane using manganese dioxide
QuestionThe reaction involves the oxidation of nitromethane (CH3NO2) to nitroethane (CH3CH2NO2) using manganese dioxide (MnO2) as a catalyst. This reaction is known as the Leuckart-Wallach reaction. CH3NO2 + MnO2 → CH3CH2NO2 + MnO Theoretical yield ~40%? In this reaction, nitromethane (CH3NO2) is...- blacky2340
