Phillips4 has shown that such decompositions are retarded by initially added nitrogen dioxide, ... in the decomposition of alkyl nitrates is considered to be the breaking of the O—N bond 1,2,3.

Carbon-nitrogen bond activation is an intractable challenge among the inert chemical bonds, due to the high bond dissociation energy [BDE (Ph-NH2) = 102.6 ± 1.0 kcal/mol], ...
