Nitroamine

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
3CH
2–)
2N–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
2N–NO
2.

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