1-Pentanamine,N-nitroso-N-pentyl- (13256-06-9)

 Di-n-amylnitrosamine (CAS NO.13256-06-9) is also named as 4-04-00-03390 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) ; BRN 1768102 ; CCRIS 1007 ; Di-N-amylnitrosamine ; Di-N-pentylnitrosamine ; Di-n-pentylnitrosamine ; Diamylnitrosamin ; Diamylnitrosamin [German] ; Diamylnitrosamine ; Dipentylnitrosamine ; Dipentylnitrosoamine ; N,N,-Diamylnitrosamine ; N-Nitrosodi-N-pentylamine ; N-Nitrosodi-n-amylamine ; N-Nitrosodi-n-pentylamine ; NSC 73601 ; Nitrosodi-N-pentylamine . Di-n-amylnitrosamine (CAS NO.13256-06-9) is colourless to light yellow liquid. It is insoluble in water. Di-n-amylnitrosamine (CAS NO.13256-06-9) is a nitrated amine which is combustible. The combustion of amines yields noxious NOx. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides can produce flammable gaseous hydrogen. Aromatic nitro compounds range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups.
