Chemical coming from Vietnam in explosive (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amine

'chemical' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'coming from vietnam in explosive' is the wordplay.
'coming from' indicates a hidden word.
'AMINE' is hidden within 'vietnam in explosive'.

(Another definition for amine that I've seen is " basic compound".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
