Isopropyl alcohol
In the pharmaceutical industry P2NP is used to produce a racemic Amphetamine mixture, branded under the trade names Adderall and Mydayis, amongst others. In this case, the double bond is hydrogenated and the nitro group is reduced, thus 1-phenyl-2-nitropropene becomes 1-phenyl-2-aminopropan, which is another name for Amphetamine. Different reducing agents and solvents are used for this reaction, and various protocols exist. Often LAH, Aluminum amalgam or raney nickel are used as a reducing agent, and the reaction is carried in a solvent like Isopropyl alcohol or THF
