Fractional crystallization ought to work, getting to decent purity would entail several repetitions.
However as it's already been determined by distillation that the supposed 50/50 acetone/EtNO2 mix OTC product, actually contained no EtNO2 at all,
isn't this a little academic now?
Apparently, a product labelled like that with an MSDS that says same can be altered by manufacturer to one component only without changing either
label or MSDS as long as no new component is added. Or so someone commented.
This makes OTC products even more uncertain as sources, unless the label says that it is one component only and that is your desired compound.
Otherwise I'd hope you have a GC on hand so you can get a quick profile before setting up to do a fractionaion.

Is sodium nitrite a problem to get? Not here. I have several Kg on hand of the Ajax product out of Australia.
Same with n-propanol.
Anyway apart from my comments I have nothing against this route to nitroethane.
I don't know where you are located, @not_important. Why is sodium nitrate regulated where you are? And n-propanol? Seems bizarre.

@pantone, it was used by @cyberzed in the post immediately preceding my remark.
I no longer see it in there, but he edited the post so must have removed it.
Should I in your opinion, remove my own remark? I have seen others make the same exhortation, including moderators. Plain language is preferable to
circumlocutions from other forums.
