Identify the product obtained when nitro ethane is treated with $\mathrm{Sn}-\mathrm{HCl}$ under ideal…

Tin with hydrochloric acid reduces nitro compounds to primary amines through the general reaction:

$\mathrm{R-NO_2 \xrightarrow{Sn/HCl} R-NH_2}$

For nitroethane, the ethyl group remains intact, yielding ethanamine.

A) Ethanamine ($\mathrm{CH_3CH_2NH_2}$) corresponds to this product.

B) Acetamide and C) Formamide are amides, not amines, and do not result from nitro reduction.

D) Methanamine lacks the carbon skeleton of the starting material.

The product is ethanamine.
