3.5 Triad System containing Nitrogen

(a) Nitrous acid exists in two tautomeric forms:



The alkyl derivatives of nitro form and nitrite form are called as nitro alkanes and alkyl nitrites, respectively.

(b) Primary and secondary nitroalkanes have liable $\alpha - H$ atom, hence exhibit nitro-aci nitro type of tautomerism.



(c) Nitroso-isonitro System: In this system one tautomer exits as nitroso while the other tautomer exists as an isonitroso (oxime) form.



(d) Imine-Enamine System
