Nitro compounds

This chapter focuses on nitroso compounds. It refers to nitroso compounds as tautomeric with oximes that are thermodynamically more stable. The chapter shares diagrams to reference the bonding. C-nitroso compounds are readily turned to the corresponding oxime if there is a hydrogen-? linked to the nitroso group. Additionally, the chapter discusses the synthesis of aliphatic C-nitroso compounds, aromatic C-nitroso compounds, α-diketones via nitrosis compounds, N-nitroso compounds, and O-nitroso compounds. It mentions how aliphatic C-nitroso compounds tautomerizse to the oxime if an α-hydrogen is present. The α-chloro and acyl Cnitroso compounds are useful in terms of achieving the Diels-Alder reaction.
