Description

1-Methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) can be used as a source of diazomethane on very small scales. An initial rearrangement of MNNG occurs as the N-nitrosyl oxygen cleaves the guanidine group, subsequent deprotonation of the methyl group with aqueous base results in the formation of diazomethane and N-nitrourea. The advantages of MNNG are that it is an easily handled solid with a long shelf life, however it is a potential carcinogen and a skin sensitiser. MNNG also finds application as a DNA alkylating agent used to probe DNA base damage repair mechanisms.
