Reactivity Profile
N-NITROSOPIPERIDINE(100-75-4) may react with strong oxidizing agents, especially peroxyacids. .
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits highly toxic fumes.
Potential Exposure
N-Nitrosopiperidine is found in some
foods and tobacco smoke. Used as a research chemical.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data are not available for this chemical, but N-NITROSOPIPERIDINE is probably combustible.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including
resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical
attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.

Incompatibilities
Nitrated organics range from slight to
strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents,
including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a
vigorous reaction. Reaction with aliphatic amines can
release carcinogenic nitrosamines. Incompatible with oxidizers
(chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates,
chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause
fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials,
strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Light and
UV may cause decomposition
Chemical Properties
light yellow oily liquid
Chemical Properties
N-Nitrosopiperidine is a clear, yellow, oily
liquid.
Waste Disposal
Consult with environmental
regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal
practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant
(≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing
storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.
Under 40 CFR 261.5 small quantity generators of this
waste may qualify for partial exclusion from hazardous
waste regulations.
Uses
A carcinogenic nitrosocompound.
Definition
ChEBI: A nitrosamine that is piperidine in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a nitroso group. One of the many carcinogens detected in cigarette smoke, it is found in meat, cheese and spices that have been treated with the preservative sod
um nitrite.
Carcinogenicity
N-Nitrosopiperidine is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
