1-(PHENYL) 2-NITROETHANE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

1-(Phenyl) 2-nitroethane has been mentioned in connection with perfume raw materials, and since it could be made readily available, it has been considered for perfumery purposes.

Synthesis

1-(Phenyl) 2-nitroethane is prepared：
1) from beta-Phenylethylamine by oxidation. The amine is obtained from Benzyl cyanide in liquid Ammonia with a Raney-Nickel catalyst, by hydrogenation.
2) by isolation from the essential oil of the leaves of Aniba canellila (in Brazil).
