Chemistry:Nitroamine

From HandWiki

In organic and inorganic chemistry, nitroamines or nitramides are chemical compounds with the general chemical structure R1
R2
N–NO
2
. They consist of a nitro group (–NO
2
) bonded to the nitrogen of an amine.[1][2] The R groups can be any group, typically hydrogen (e.g., methylnitroamine CH
3
–NH–NO
2
) and organyl (e.g., diethylnitroamine (CH
3
CH
2
–)
2
N–NO
2
). An example of inorganic nitroamine is chloronitroamine, Cl–NH–NO
2
.[3] The parent inorganic compound, where both R substituents are hydrogen, is nitramide or nitroamine, H
2
N–NO
2
.

N-Nitroaniline rearranges in the presence of acid to give 2-nitroaniline.[4]
