nitrosoalkane
A nitrosoalkane is an organic compound containing a nitroso group (N=O) attached to an alkyl group. The general formula for a nitrosoalkane is R-N=O, where R represents an alkyl group. These compounds are characterized by the presence of a nitrogen-oxygen double bond, which is a polar functional group. Nitrosoalkanes can be synthesized through various methods, including the oxidation of primary amines or the reaction of alkyl halides with alkali nitrites.
The chemical properties of nitrosoalkanes are influenced by the nitroso group. They are often colored due to
