General Description
A white to light colored solid substance. Insoluble in water and more dense that water. May cause irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. If exposed to high temperatures or flames 1,1'-Azobis(cyanocyclohexane) may ignite and burn with an intense flame. Dust may form an explosive mixture in air.
Air & Water Reactions
Dust may form an explosive mixture in air. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Self-decomposition or self-ignition may be triggered by heat, chemical reaction, friction or impact. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. 1,1'-Azobis(cyanocyclohexane) is an azo compound. Azo, diazo, azido compounds can detonate. This applies in particular to organic azides that have been sensitized by the addition of metal salts or strong acids. Toxic gases are formed by mixing materials of this class with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing materials in this group with alkali metals. Explosive combination can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides.
Health Hazard
Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by friction, heat, sparks or flames. Some may burn rapidly with flare burning effect. Powders, dusts, shavings, borings, turnings or cuttings may explode or burn with explosive violence. Substance may be transported in a molten form at a temperature that may be above its flash point. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
Purification Methods
Purify the nitrile by dissolving it in boiling 95%EOH as rapidly as possible, cool overnight at 0o, filter, wash with a little EtOH and dry it in a vacuum desiccator over CaCl2. Note that prolonged heating >80o causes decomposition. Recrystallise it from EtOH. It should be regarded as potentially explosive. It is a radical initiator. [Overberger et al. Org Synth Coll Vol IV 66 1963, Beilstein 16 II 97.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 2094-98-6 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,0,9 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2094-98:
(6*2)+(5*0)+(4*9)+(3*4)+(2*9)+(1*8)=86
86 % 10 = 6
So 2094-98-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Granules of azo-type compounds
-
, (2008/06/13)
A composition, comprising an azo compound in the form of granules having a diameter size of between 200 μm and 10 mm, the cumulative pore volume of said granules being between about 0.2 and about 2 ml per gram of composition. A process for preparing the composition is also provided, which comprises providing a wetted powder comprising the azo compound, effecting granulation by passing the wetted powder under mechanical stress, through a die, and then drying the granules so obtained at a temperature of at or less than about 45° C.
Hydrosilylation of unsaturated compounds
-
, (2008/06/13)
A method for hydrosilylating an olefinically unsaturated compound comprising contacting the unsaturated compound with a source of silicon in the presence of an azo-containing free-radical catalyst, the hydrosilylated product being a useful crosslinking agent.
