CAS 1972-28-7: Diethyl azodicarboxylate
Description:Diethyl azodicarboxylate (DEAD) is an organic compound characterized by its azodicarboxylate structure, featuring two ethyl ester groups attached to a central azo group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a slightly sweet odor. DEAD is known for its role as a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds through reactions such as the Michael addition and the generation of radicals. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. The compound is relatively stable under normal conditions but can decompose upon exposure to heat or light, releasing nitrogen gas. Safety precautions are necessary when handling DEAD, as it can be an irritant to the skin and eyes, and its vapors may be harmful if inhaled. Additionally, it is important to store it in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances to prevent any hazardous reactions.
