4-NITROPYRENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

4-Nitropyrene is a nitro-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonthat exists as orange needles at room temperature (IARC 1989). It is practically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, benzene, dimethyl sulfoxide, and methylene chloride (WHO2003).

Uses

4-Nitropyrene is used only as a laboratory chemical (IARC 1989); there is no evidence that it has ever been used for commercial purposes.

Uses

4-Nitropyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollutant that was found in ambient air of the Arctic town Longyearbyen, Svalbard.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Nitropyrene is a member of pyrenes.

Safety Profile

Confxmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Carcinogenicity

4-Nitropyrene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogenbased on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
