CAS 26921-68-6

2-(Methylnitrosoamino)ethanol

Description:

2-(Methylnitrosoamino)ethanol, with the CAS number 26921-68-6, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of nitrosamines, which are known for their potential carcinogenic properties. This substance is characterized by the presence of a nitroso group (-NO) attached to a methylnitrosoamino moiety, which is further linked to an ethanol group. The molecular structure suggests that it has both hydrophilic and lipophilic characteristics, allowing it to interact with biological systems in various ways. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, and its solubility in water is moderate, which can influence its bioavailability and toxicity. Due to its nitrosamine nature, it is of particular interest in toxicology and environmental chemistry, as nitrosamines can form from the reaction of nitrites with amines under acidic conditions. Safety measures are essential when handling this compound, as exposure may pose health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects.
