RNHOH
RNHOH refers to N-hydroxyamines, a class of organonitrogen compounds defined by the presence of an N-hydroxy group attached to an alkyl or aryl substituent. The general formula is R-NHOH, where R is an organic substituent and the nitrogen bears a hydroxyl group. The parent compound when R is hydrogen is hydroxylamine; substituting other groups for R yields a range of substituted N-hydroxyamines. The N–O bond and the oxygen-bearing nitrogen confer distinctive reactivity relative to simple amines.
Structure and properties: RNHOH compounds feature a nitrogen center bonded to a hydroxy group, giving both
Synthesis and applications: RNHOH derivatives are prepared by methods that introduce a hydroxy substituent onto nitrogen,
Safety and handling: Compounds in the RNHOH family can be reactive and may pose oxidation or decomposition
