Description:N-methyl-N-nitrosopropan-2-amine, with the CAS number 30533-08-5, 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 (-N=O) attached to a secondary amine, specifically N-methylpropan-2-amine. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state and purity. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit low solubility in water. N-methyl-N-nitrosopropan-2-amine is primarily of interest in toxicological studies due to its formation during the nitrosation of amines, which can occur in various environments, including food processing and biological systems. Its stability can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature, and it may decompose under certain conditions, releasing nitrogen oxides. Due to its potential health risks, handling this compound requires appropriate safety measures to minimize exposure.
