- Product Name: Methyl Nitroguanidine
- Chemical Formula: C2H6N4O2
- Molecular Weight: 118.09 g/mol
- CAS Number: 4245-76-5
- Alternative Names: 1-Methyl-3-nitroguanidine, N-Methyl-N'-nitroguanidine (MNG)
- Appearance: White crystalline solid
- Melting Point: 161.3 °C
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Solubility: Soluble in water and most organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, ether).
- Stability: Stable under normal temperature and pressure, but decomposes when heated, releasing toxic nitrogen oxides. It decomposes and may explode at 150 °C.
- Chemical Reactivity: As a nitroguanidine derivative, it contains both amino (-NH2) and nitro (-NO2) groups, making it susceptible to thermal decomposition and explosive reactions under high temperature or shock.
Applications
- Organic Synthesis
- Serves as an intermediate in the production of pesticides and pharmaceuticals.
- Explosives and Propellants
- Used in the formulation of explosives and smokeless powders due to its energetic properties.
Safety and Hazards
- Explosive Properties: Classified as an explosive substance. Combustible and may explode under heat or impact.
- Toxicity and Irritation:
- Harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or in contact with skin (Hazard Codes: F - Flammable, Xn - Harmful).
- Causes skin and eye irritation; may have systemic toxic effects with prolonged exposure.
- Risk Phrases:
- R11 (Highly flammable), R20/21/22 (Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed), R36/37/38 (Irritating to eyes, respiratory system, and skin).
- Handling Precautions:
- Avoid contact with strong oxidizers and alkalis.
- Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from light and heat sources.
- Use explosion-proof equipment and wear protective gear (gloves, goggles, respirator) during handling.
- Environmental Risks:
- Decomposition products (nitrogen oxides) may contribute to air pollution; proper disposal is required to prevent ecological harm.
