, nitroethane 79-24-3
When ethane (C2H6) undergoes a substitution reaction with chlorine (Cl2), one of the hydrogen atoms in ethane is replaced by a chlorine atom. The main product of this reaction is chloroethane (C2H5Cl), but other products such as dichloroethane, trichloroethane, tetrachloroethane, and pentachloroethane can also be obtained in smaller quantities. The formation of these additional products reduces
