Nitroamine

In organic and inorganic chemistry, nitroamines or nitramides are chemical compounds with the general chemical structure R1R2N−NO2. They consist of a nitro group (−NO2) bonded to the nitrogen of an amine. The R groups can be any group, typically hydrogen (e.g., methylnitroamine CH3−NH−NO2) and organyl (e.g., diethylnitroamine (CH3CH2−)2N−NO2). An example of inorganic nitroamine is chloronitroamine, Cl−NH−NO2. The parent inorganic compound, where both R substituents are hydrogen, is nitramide or nitroamine, H2N−NO2.

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