The condensation of 2,2-dinitroalkanols with ammonia, aliphatic amines, and aromatic amines has been investigated, the conditions for the preparation of the 2,2-dinitroalkylamines have been determined, and the formed amines have been nitrated. The properties of the compounds are described and it is shown that the condensation reaction can be reversed by certain weak Lewis bases. The nitration products are more stable toward such bases.
