The nitramines (also nitramides ) are a class of chemical compounds that contain the functional group R 1 R 2 N-NO 2 . They are often used as explosives or insecticides . It is nitr ierte amine e , which partly from the corresponding amines by condensation reactions with nitric acid are accessible.
Nitramine
The simplest member of the nitramine group is called nitramine . Nitramine (R 1 = R 2 = H) has the empirical formula H 2 N 2 O 2 and is already an explosive, but due to its high chemical instability it has no practical application. Nitramine is produced by decomposing nitro urethane .
Its melting point is 72–73 ° C, and it disintegrates immediately when it reaches its melting point. If it comes into contact with concentrated sulfuric acid, it immediately decomposes explosively.
