6-AZACYTIDINE Usage And Synthesis
General Description
White crystalline powder.
Air & Water Reactions
6-AZACYTIDINE may be light and air sensitive.
Reactivity Profile
6-AZACYTIDINE is an aminoalcohol. 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. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for 6-AZACYTIDINE are not available. 6-AZACYTIDINE is probably combustible.
Safety Profile
Mildly toxic by intraperitonealroute. An experimental teratogen. Other experimentalreproductive effects. Mutation data reported. Whenheated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
