N-Nitroso-N-propyl-p-toluenesulfonamide

Description:

N-Nitroso-N-propyl-p-toluenesulfonamide, with the CAS number 33469-51-1, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of nitrosamines, which are known for their potential carcinogenic properties. This compound features a nitroso group (-N=O) attached to a propyl group and a p-toluenesulfonamide moiety, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and biological activity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow solid or liquid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the sulfonamide group suggests that it may exhibit some degree of solubility in polar solvents, while the nitroso group can participate in various chemical reactions, including those leading to the formation of reactive intermediates. Due to its structure, N-Nitroso-N-propyl-p-toluenesulfonamide may pose health risks, particularly in terms of mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, which necessitates careful handling and regulation in laboratory and industrial settings. As with many nitrosamines, its use is often restricted or monitored due to safety concerns.
