Template:Short description Template:Distinguish
In organic and inorganic chemistry, nitroamines or nitramides are chemical compounds with the general chemical structure Template:Chem2. They consist of a nitro group (Template:Chem2) bonded to the nitrogen of an amine.<ref name="Clayden1st">Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="March6th">Template:March6th</ref> The R groups can be any group, typically hydrogen (e.g., methylnitroamine Template:Chem2) and organyl (e.g., diethylnitroamine Template:Chem2). An example of inorganic nitroamine is chloronitroamine, Template:Chem2.<ref name=pubchem>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The parent inorganic compound, where both R substituents are hydrogen, is nitramide or nitroamine, Template:Chem2.
N-Nitroaniline rearranges in the presence of acid to give 2-nitroaniline.<ref>Template:March6th </ref>
