Abstract
Nornicotine (3) can be nitrosated by C-nitro compounds having electronwithdrawing groups (tetranitromethane is particularly effective) and by various nitrosamines. However, compared to other secondary amines, it is a poor recipient of the nitroso group. Ascorbic acid inhibits the transfer of the nitroso group to nornicotine and also blocks the nitrosation of nornicotine by NaNO 2. The latter reaction is also inhibited by cysteine and tannic acid.
