N,N-Dimethyl-N′-nitroguanidine

Description:

N,N-Dimethyl-N′-nitroguanidine (CAS 5465-97-4) is an organic compound characterized by its nitroguanidine structure, which includes a nitro group (-NO2) and two methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom. This compound is typically a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is known for its energetic properties, making it of interest in the field of explosives and propellants. It is relatively stable under normal conditions but can decompose under high temperatures or in the presence of strong acids or bases. N,N-Dimethyl-N′-nitroguanidine is soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, but has limited solubility in non-polar solvents. Its applications extend beyond explosives; it is also studied for potential uses in pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals due to its unique chemical properties. Safety precautions are essential when handling this compound, as it can be hazardous if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate protective measures should be taken to mitigate exposure.
