CAS 124521-15-9: N'-NITROSOPENTYL-(3-PICOLYL)AMINE
Description:N'-Nitrosopentyl-(3-picolyl)amine is a nitrosamine compound, which is characterized by the presence of a nitroso group (–N=O) attached to a secondary amine. This compound is derived from the reaction of a secondary amine, in this case, pentyl-(3-picolyl)amine, with nitrous acid or nitrosating agents. Nitrosamines are known for their potential carcinogenic properties, making them a subject of concern in toxicology and environmental chemistry. The structure of N'-nitrosopentyl-(3-picolyl)amine includes a pentyl chain and a pyridine ring, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. Typically, nitrosamines are stable under neutral conditions but can decompose under acidic or basic environments, leading to the release of nitrogen oxides and other byproducts. Due to their biological activity, nitrosamines are often studied for their effects on human health, particularly in relation to cancer risk. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate exposure risks associated with this compound.
