:Pentanamide, 4,4'-azobis[4-cyano-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-
Description:
Pentanamide, 4,4'-azobis[4-cyano-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, commonly referred to by its CAS number 88190-84-5, is a chemical compound that serves as a radical initiator in polymerization processes. It features a structure that includes an azo group, which is responsible for its ability to generate free radicals upon thermal decomposition. This compound is typically used in the synthesis of polymers and copolymers, particularly in applications requiring controlled polymerization techniques. Its solubility characteristics can vary depending on the solvent, but it is generally soluble in polar organic solvents due to the presence of hydroxyl and amide functional groups. The compound is also characterized by its relatively stable nature under standard conditions, although it can decompose when exposed to heat or light, releasing nitrogen gas and other byproducts. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective equipment should be used to mitigate exposure.
