 4-Nitrophthalimide (CAS NO.89-40-7) is also named as 1H-Isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione, 5-nitro- ; 5-21-11-00158 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) ; 5-Nitrophthalimide ; AI3-00701 ; BRN 0180224 ; CCRIS 4685 ; NSC 5394 . 4-Nitrophthalimide (CAS NO.89-40-7) is slight yellow powder. It is insoluble in water and can be hydrolyzed. It is a nitrated amine. Amines are chemical bases and combustible. The combustion of amines yields noxious NOx. 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. Aromatic nitro compounds range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups.
