Definition
ChEBI: 2-(hydroxyimino)-N,N-dimethyl-2-(methylsulfanyl)acetamide is an aldoxime.
General Description
White powder.
Air & Water Reactions
Dust is a fire and explosion hazard.
Reactivity Profile
An oxime , carbamate derivative. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.
Safety Profile
Low toxicity by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of NOx and SOx.
