👉 In chemistry, a diazoamine is a nitrogen-containing compound that has one or more nitrogen atoms attached to a nitrogen atom of another nitrogen-containing molecule. These compounds are often used in organic synthesis as precursors for other nitrogen-containing chemicals. The term "diazonate" refers to the diazoamine with two nitrogen atoms attached to each other, while "diastereomer" refers to the isomer that has one nitrogen atom replaced by a different type of nitrogen atom.
