Nitrogen Compounds Quiz | Chemistry Quiz
The important nitrogen containing organic compounds are alkyl nitrites (RONO), nitro-alkanes (RNO2), aromatic nitro compounds (ArNO2), alkyl cyanides (RCN), alkyl iso cyanides (RNC), amines (– NH2), aryl diazonium salts (ArN2Cl), amides (–CONH2) and oximes (>C = N OH).
USES: a) Ethyl nitrite dialates the blood vessels and thus accelerates pulse rate and lowers blood pressure, so it is used as a medicine for the treatment of asthma and heart diseases (angina pectoris).
(b) Its 4% alcoholic solution (known as sweet spirit of nitre) is used in medicine as a diuretic.
(c) Since it is easily hydrolysed to form nitrous acids, it is used as a source of nitrous acid in organic synthesis.
Isoamyl nitrite is used as an antispasmodic in angina pectoris and as a restorative in cardiac failure.
(2) Nitro alkanes or Nitroparaffins : Nitro alkanes are regarded as nitro derivatives of hydrocarbons.
