N-methyl-N-nitrosotetrahydrothiophen-3-amine 1,1-dioxide

Description:

N-methyl-N-nitrosotetrahydrothiophen-3-amine 1,1-dioxide, with the CAS number 13256-21-8, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of nitrosamines, which are known for their potential carcinogenic properties. This compound features a tetrahydrothiophene ring, which is a five-membered heterocyclic structure containing sulfur, and is further modified by the presence of a nitroso group and a methylamine moiety. The presence of the 1,1-dioxide functional group indicates that it has two oxygen atoms bonded to the sulfur atom, enhancing its reactivity and solubility in polar solvents. The compound is typically studied in the context of its biological effects, particularly its potential to induce mutations and its implications in toxicology. Due to its nitrosamine structure, it may undergo metabolic activation in biological systems, leading to the formation of reactive intermediates. Handling and exposure to this compound should be approached with caution due to its associated health risks.
