  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007968",
  "term": "Nitrosamides",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds containing a nitroso group (-NO) attached to the nitrogen atom of an amide functional group (R-CO-N(R')-NO). These compounds are often unstable and can decompose to generate diazonium ions or other reactive species. They are sometimes used as precursors for the synthesis of other nitrogen-containing compounds.",
