Conclusions
-
1.
The molecular ions of aliphatic N-nitroamines possess a low stability which decreases rapidly with increasing length of the hydrocarbon radical.
-
2.
The main routes of decomposition of the molecular ions of aliphatic N-nitroamines have been established; they are based mainly on the rupture of C-N and C-C bonds closest to the N atom, followed by elimination of NO., NO2 ., and HNO2 in the case of the primary nitroamines, and of NO2 . and HNO2 . in the case of the secondary nitroamines. This makes it possible to distinguish them from each other.
