CAS 556-88-7
:Nitroguanidine
Description:
Nitroguanidine, with the CAS number 556-88-7, is an organic compound characterized by its nitro and guanidine functional groups. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is known for its high thermal stability and low sensitivity to shock, making it a valuable component in the field of explosives and propellants. Nitroguanidine is less toxic compared to other nitro compounds, which contributes to its appeal in various applications. It is soluble in water and exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents. The compound is primarily used as a propellant in ammunition and as a component in the formulation of explosives due to its ability to produce a high energy output upon decomposition. Additionally, it has potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the synthesis of various nitrogen-containing compounds. Nitroguanidine's stability and performance characteristics make it an important substance in both military and civilian applications, although handling and storage require adherence to safety protocols due to its energetic nature.
