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.[1][2] 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 or chloro(nitro)amine Cl−NH−NO2.[3] The parent inorganic compound, where both R substituents are hydrogen, is nitramide or nitroamine, H2N−NO2.
