nitroalquanos
Nitroalquanos, also known as nitroalkanes, are a class of organic compounds that contain a nitro group (–NO2) bonded directly to an sp3-hybridized carbon of an alkyl chain. Common examples include nitromethane, nitroethane, and nitropropane. The nitro group confers polarity to the molecule and makes the carbon bearing it unusually reactive in carbon–carbon bond-forming processes. The nitro-bearing carbon can be primary, secondary, or tertiary depending on the degree of substitution.
A notable feature of nitroalquanos is the acidity of the hydrogen atoms on the carbon adjacent to
Synthesis of nitroalquanos typically involves forming the nitro group on an alkyl precursor through base-promoted alkylation
Safety and handling: nitroalquanos can be toxic and some nitro compounds are sensitive or reactive, particularly
