4,4'-Azobis(4-cyanopentanol)

Description:

4,4'-Azobis(4-cyanopentanol), with the CAS number 4693-47-4, is a chemical compound that serves primarily as a radical initiator in polymerization processes. It features a central azo group (-N=N-) flanked by two 4-cyanopentanol moieties, which contribute to its reactivity and solubility characteristics. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. Its thermal stability allows it to decompose upon heating, generating free radicals that initiate polymerization reactions, making it valuable in the production of various polymers and copolymers. Additionally, the presence of the cyanopentanol groups provides potential for further functionalization, enhancing its utility in synthetic applications. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as it can pose risks associated with its radical-generating properties and potential toxicity. Proper storage and handling protocols should be followed to mitigate any hazards.
