10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
4-HYDROXYPYRAZOLO(3,4-D)PYRIMIDINE is an amine derivative. Amines are chemical bases. 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. This chemical darkens above 300°C, and at an indefinite high temperature, it chars and decomposes. At 105°C, maximum stability occurs at pH 3.1- 3.4. This chemical decomposes in acidic and basic solutions.
10.4 Conditions to avoid

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for allopurinol(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.55(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
The Koc of allopurinol is estimated as 71(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.55(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that allopurinol is expected to have high mobility in soil.

Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
