NH2NO2 Nitramide

For the spontaneous decomposition of nitramide (NH2NO2) the transition state is assumed to have formula 8, on the supposition that the rate-limiting step is base-catalysed removal of a proton from the (less stable) aci-tautomer (NH N02H). This suggestion is made in the... 

The synthesis of N-3 uridine triacetate was carried out by direct exchange of the nitrogen isotopes, via nitration of N-3, then reaction with NHs, via a double nucleophihc replacement of nitramide (NH2NO2)...

The products were followed in a flow reactor by mass-spectrometric detection [102]. The main reaction pathway was found to be NH2 + NO2 - N2O + H2O the pathway N2 + H2O2 contributes less than 5% also the formation of HN + NHO2 was ruled out [59]. It can be assumed that the reaction mechanism is very similar to the one for NH2 + NO. In the radical-radical reaction with NH2(X A) a complex is formed [143, 144] which can redissociate or decompose to the products N2O and water. The unstable molecule nitramide, NH2NO2, which is known to decompose into N2O and H2O, has been trapped in Ar and N2 matrices at 12 K and detected by IR spectroscopy [145].
