CAS 17607-21-5: Pentane, 1,5-diazido-

Description: Pentane, 1,5-diazido- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two azide functional groups (-N3) attached to a pentane backbone. This compound is part of the class of azides, which are known for their high reactivity and potential as energetic materials. The structure consists of a five-carbon straight-chain alkane with azide groups located at the first and fifth carbon atoms. Due to the presence of the azide groups, pentane, 1,5-diazido- exhibits properties typical of azides, including sensitivity to heat, shock, and friction, making it potentially hazardous. It may also undergo decomposition, releasing nitrogen gas and other products, which can be exothermic. The compound's applications may include use in research, particularly in the synthesis of other nitrogen-rich compounds or as a precursor in the development of explosives. However, due to its instability, handling requires strict safety precautions. As with all azides, proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate risks associated with its reactivity.
