diisonitrosoacetone can condense with hydroxylamine to form
1,2-dinitroso-propyl,2-oxime.
It is called "nitroso" because that is the demoninant tautomer at neutral conditions.
Making it basic, the oxime tautomer dominates, and this is what can act as an acid.
O=NCH2C(=O)CH2N=O and HON=CHC(=O)CH=NOH
1,2-dinitroso-propyl,2-oxime can act like a triple acid, forming salts with the -3 anion,
(-)ON=CHC(=NO(-))CH=NO(-)
1,2-dinitroso-propyl,2-oxime could either be reduced with bisulfite to give a decent yield of propyl trihydroxylamine, or oxidized with NO2 bubbled in
to form real "nitroglycerin", with 3 nitro groups instead of nitrate.
