693-21-0 Usage
Uses
Used in Aerospace Industry:
DEGN is used as a rocket propellant for its high energy density and performance characteristics, making it suitable for various aerospace applications. Its sensitivity to heat and shock, however, requires careful handling and desensitization to ensure safety during use.
Used in Chemical Industry:
In the chemical industry, DEGN can be used as a reactive monomer or intermediate in the synthesis of various polymers and resins. Its reactivity and versatility make it a valuable component in the development of new materials with specific properties and applications.
Air & Water Reactions
Slightly soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Nitroorganics, such as DEGN, 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. Nitroalkanes are milder oxidizing agents, but still react violently with reducing agents at higher temperature and pressures. Nitroalkanes react with inorganic bases to form explosive salts. The presence of metal oxides increases the thermal sensitivity of nitroalkanes. Nitroalkanes with more than one nitro group are generally explosive.
Health Hazard
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Fire Hazard
MAY EXPLODE AND THROW FRAGMENTS 1600 meters (1 MILE) OR MORE IF FIRE REACHES CARGO.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 693-21-0 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 6,9 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 693-21:
(5*6)+(4*9)+(3*3)+(2*2)+(1*1)=80
80 % 10 = 0
So 693-21-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

USE OF NITROOXY ORGANIC MOLECULES IN FEED FOR REDUCING METHANE EMISSION IN RUMINANTS, AND/OR TO IMPROVE RUMINANT PERFORMANCE
-
Paragraph 0140; 0141, (2014/06/11)
The present invention relates to a method for reducing the production of methane emanating from the digestive activities of a ruminant and/or for improving ruminant animal performance by using, as active compound at least one organic molecule substituted at any position with at least one nitrooxy group, or a salt thereof, which is administrated to the animal together with the feed. The invention also relates to the use of these compounds in feed and feed additives such as premix, concentrates and total mixed ration (TMR) or in the form of a bolus.

About the Nitration of Ethylene Oxide
Slavtscheva, Ju.,Minkov, D.,Kolev, N.
, p. 188 - 196 (2007/10/02)
Nitration of ethylene oxide with pure nitric acid of different concentrations as well as in presence of sulphuric acid was carried out.The products, ethyleneglycol dinitrate 1, diethyleneglycol dinitrate 2, triethyleneglycol dinitrate 3, tetraethyleneglycol dinitrate 4, ethyleneglycol mononitrate 5, diethyleneglycol mononitrate 6, and 2,2'-dinitratediethylsulphate 7 were structurally determined by i.r.- and 1H-n.m.r.-spectroscopy.
