==Mode of action== ==Mode of action==
Nitrogen mustards react via an initial cyclization to the corresponding iminium salt. The rate of this reaction is pH dependent because the protonated amine cannot cyclize. Nitrogen mustards react via an initial cyclization to the corresponding quaternary ] salt. The rate of this reaction is pH dependent because the protonated amine cannot cyclize.

HN-3 has found some applications in chemotherapy, e.g., for ], but it is mainly of interest for its military uses and is the only one of these agents that remains anywhere as a military agent.
