Nitrataesterid
Nitrataesterid refers to a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of one or more nitrate ester functional groups (-O-NO2). These compounds are formed by the esterification of an alcohol with nitric acid, or more commonly, by reacting an alcohol with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids. The structure of a nitrataesterid consists of an organic backbone with nitrate groups attached via ester linkages.
The properties of nitrataesterids vary widely depending on the specific organic structure to which the nitrate
The most well-known application of nitrataesterids is in explosives and propellants. Nitroglycerin, a trinitrate ester of
