N-nitrosoethanamine, with the CAS number 64295-12-1, is a chemical compound classified as a nitrosamine. It is formed by the reaction of ethylamine with nitrous acid, resulting in the introduction of a nitroso group (-NO) to the amine structure. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its potential carcinogenic properties, which have raised concerns regarding its presence in various environments, particularly in food and tobacco products. N-nitrosoethanamine is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its stability can be influenced by factors such as temperature and pH, leading to the formation of other nitrosamines under certain conditions. Due to its toxicological profile, it is subject to regulatory scrutiny, and its use is often restricted in many applications. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate health risks associated with exposure to this compound.
