Preferred Label : nitrosamides;
IUPAC definition : Although this term has, regrettably, been used to mean the i N /i -nitroso derivatives
of amides, logically it refers to amides of nitrous acid; the unstable parent compound
H sub 2 /sub NNO is, in fact, named nitrosamide, but its derivatives formed by substitution
with hydrocarbyl groups are by long custom called nitrosamines.;
