A new spectroscopic technique for measuring the rate of nitramide decomposition revealed a second pathway for this reaction and allowed extension of the Brønsted relation for the first (traditional) pathway into more basic regions where the onset of relatively sharp curvature was detected; these results suggest a mechanism for the first reaction pathway in which proton transfer is not concerted with heavy atom reorganization.
