3-(Methylnitrosoamino)propanal

Description:

3-(Methylnitrosoamino)propanal, with the CAS number 85502-23-4, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of nitrosamines, which are known for their potential carcinogenic properties. This substance features a propanal backbone with a methylnitrosoamino group, which contributes to its reactivity and biological activity. Typically, nitrosamines are formed from the reaction of nitrites with amines, and they are often associated with various health risks, particularly in relation to cancer. The compound is likely to be a colorless or pale yellow liquid, exhibiting a characteristic odor. Its solubility in water may vary, but nitrosamines generally have moderate to low solubility in aqueous solutions. Due to its potential toxicity, handling of 3-(Methylnitrosoamino)propanal requires caution, and it is important to follow safety protocols to minimize exposure. Research into its biological effects and mechanisms of action is ongoing, particularly concerning its implications in human health and environmental impact.
