What is a Hydroxylamine (NH₂OH) ?

Hydroxylamine (NH₂OH) is an inorganic compound composed of nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. Structurally, it resembles ammonia with one hydrogen replaced by a hydroxyl group. It typically appears as a white crystalline solid or a colorless liquid and is highly soluble in water. It is known for its reducing properties and plays an important role in chemical synthesis.

Main uses of hydroxylamine include:
✅ Organic synthesis:
Especially in the formation of oximes and in the reduction of nitro compounds.
✅ Polymer chemistry:
Used as a cross-linking agent or a reactive intermediate.
✅ Pesticide and pharmaceutical production:
Functions as an intermediate in the synthesis of certain active compounds.
✅ Analytical chemistry:
Serves as a reducing agent or reagent in quantitative analysis.

Caution: Hydroxylamine and its salts are unstable and potentially explosive, especially when heated or subjected to shock. Proper safety measures and storage conditions are essential when handling this substance.
