Nitrous acid is a weak and monoprotic acid known chemically as HNO2. It is unstable in its pure form and exists typically as a solution. Nitrous acid is known to play a role in the atmospheric reactions that produce photochemical smog, and in the process of diazotization in the lab. Its salts, known as nitrites, are more commonly encountered in various applications from food preservation to the manufacture of explosives.
Wikidata
Nitrous acid
Nitrous acid is a weak and monobasic acid known only in solution and in the form of nitrite salts. Nitrous acid is used to make diazides from amines; this occurs by nucleophilic attack of the amine onto the nitrite, reprotonation by the surrounding solvent, and double-elimination of water. The diazide can then be liberated to give a carbene or carbenoid.
