Reactivities of -Nitrosamines against Common Reagents and Reaction Conditions.

The knowledge of the reactivity of -nitrosamines (NSAs) with common organic reagents in synthesis is essential in determining their presence in pharmaceutical products, if formed and retained during synthesis. In this study, we carried out a comprehensive survey of the Reaxys database for all reactions in which the NSA functional group is consumed. Very different reactivities for different classes of NSAs, e.
