In organic and inorganic chemistry, nitroamines or nitramides are chemical compounds with the general chemical structure R1R2N−NO2. They consist of a

catalysed by complex affords syn-β-nitroamines, whereas most other enantioselective methodologies favour anti-β-nitroamines. The authors later reported an

tasteless, widely used as an explosive. Chemically, it is classified as a nitroamine alongside HMX, which is a more energetic explosive than TNT. It was used

group −NH2. Substituted derivatives R1R2N−NO2 are termed nitramides or nitroamines as well and see wide use as explosives: examples include RDX and HMX

Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane, also called HNIW and CL-20, is a polycyclic nitroamine explosive with the formula C6H6N12O12. It has a better oxidizer-to-fuel

HMX, also called octogen, is a powerful and relatively insensitive nitroamine high explosive chemically related to RDX. The compound's name is the subject

Forces contains 91% RDX ("Research Department Explosive", an explosive nitroamine), bound by a mixture of 5.3% dioctyl sebacate (DOS) or dioctyl adipate

a similar structure to RDX but with nitrosamine groups replacing the nitroamine groups of RDX. It is also found as a decomposition product of RDX in the

explosive compound. It is essentially an open analogue of the cyclic nitroamine cage compounds such as CL-20. While it is highly explosive, with a velocity

Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula [NH4][N(NO2)2]. It is the ammonium salt of dinitraminic acid HN(NO2)2. It
