NnitrosoGruppe
The nitroso group, often written as -NO, is a univalent functional group with the formula RNO. It is characterized by a nitrogen atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a radical or atom. Nitroso compounds are typically colored, often exhibiting yellow, green, or blue hues. They are generally reactive species and can be involved in various chemical transformations.
In organic chemistry, the nitroso group can be introduced through several methods, including the oxidation of
In biological contexts, some nitroso compounds can be formed endogenously and have been implicated in cellular
