| 1. | For aromatic nitro compounds, synthesis is via a substitution reaction.
|
| 2. | They are distinct from nitro compounds ( R-NO 2 ).
|
| 3. | Nitrobenzene is a simple example of a nitro compound.
|
| 4. | Nitro compounds are common in pharmaceuticals, explosives, dyes, and plastics.
|
| 5. | The resulting nitro compound is reduced to the aniline.
|
| 6. | It is the simplest organic nitro compound.
|
| 7. | Alkyl and aryl nitro compounds behave differently.
|
| 8. | For example, DMDO will oxidize primary amines to nitro compounds and sulfides to sulfoxides.
|
| 9. | The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups.
|
| 10. | In organic chemistry the NO 2 group is present in nitrous acid esters and nitro compounds.
