I was wondering if when you use nitroethane instead of nitromethane, will you get MDEA(3,4-Methylenedioxyethylamphetamine)? When nitromethane is used,
it claims MDMA is formed. I'm just wondering if nitroethane can be substituted and if it'll produce MDEA. This information was provided for

you would probably get the ethyl analogue of MDMA (why not?), or 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine.
since the reaction effects the amine group ( which is formed from the nitro group being reduced ) and the ketone group , the amine's R chain does not
specifically have to be a methyl group, as it is not effected by the reaction.
zoombafu, you beat me by a few minutes
