4-Nitropyridine- N -oxide is a chemical compound from the group of aromatic nitro compounds and a derivative of pyridine . The substance is used as a catalyst .
Manufacturing
4-Nitropyridine- N -oxide can be prepared in good yield by nitration of pyridine- N -oxide . For this purpose, pyridine- N -oxide is reacted with a mixture of sulfuric acid and nitric acid at an elevated temperature.
toxicology
4-Nitropyridine- N -oxide is mainly highly toxic to birds (LD 50 orally 8 mg / kg for wild birds, 23 mg / kg for chickens and 20 mg / kg for pigeons), while for mammals such as mice (orally 50 mg / kg ), Rats (107 mg / kg orally), dogs (orally 3916 mg / kg) and pigs (orally 7208 mg / kg) very much higher values were determined. Symptoms that occurred included skin and eye irritation, tremors and twitching, as well as restrictions in height and lung function.
In mice, subcutaneous injection of 1.5 mg / week for 16 weeks after 450 days resulted in sarcomas in three out of ten animals. In in vitro Studies showed 4-nitropyridine N -oxide, a genotoxic effect on fibroblasts of mice.
