Acyl compounds of this group can be heated to form isocyanates in the Curtius rearrangement. They yield primary amines upon reduction, and these compounds can be explosive due to their ability to lose nitrogen, so the lead salt of this group is used as a detonator while the sodium salt useful in airbags. For 10 points, name this functional group consisting of three nitrogen atomss.
