100-75-4

Light yellow oil or liquid. May be a carcinogen.

N-NITROSOPIPERIDINE(100-75-4) may react with strong oxidizing agents, especially peroxyacids. .

Water soluble.

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition this compound emits highly toxic fumes.

N-Nitrosopiperidine is found in some foods and tobacco smoke. Used as a research chemical.

Flash point data are not available for this chemical, but N-NITROSOPIPERIDINE is probably combustible.

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.

UN2810 Toxic liquids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required. UN3082 Environmentally hazardous substances, liquid, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 9; Labels: 9-Miscellaneous hazardous material, Technical Name Required

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

light yellow oily liquid

N-Nitrosopiperidine is a clear, yellow, oily liquid.

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.

A carcinogenic nitrosocompound.

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.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 36, p. 459, 1988 DOI: 10.1248/cpb.36.459

N-Nitrosopiperidine is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
