Chemical Name: 6-(γ,γ-Dimethylallylamino)purine
Other Names: N6-Isopentenyladenine
Appearance: Crystalline solid, off-white to pale yellow
Odor: Faint or odorless
Common Uses: PGR (plant growth regulator), laboratory research
Molecular Formula: C10H13N5
Molecular Weight: 203.24 g/mol
CAS Number: 525-79-1
Classification: Not classified under GHS for acute toxicity or environmental hazard due to insufficient testing
Potential Health Effects: May cause mild eye and skin irritation; inhaling dust can bother the nose or throat.
Environmental Impact: No strong evidence of bioaccumulation, but caution with runoff as effects on aquatic life are not fully known.
Signal Word: None assigned by conventional systems.
Pictogram: No set pictogram, but treating as a chemical irritant protects people involved.
Major Component: 6-(γ,γ-Dimethylallylamino)purine
Purity: Typically over 98% in research or agricultural formulations
Impurities: Trace amounts of adenine derivatives or residual solvents may remain after synthesis.
Additives: Rarely includes stabilizers or coloring agents in pure samples.
Eye Contact: Rinse with clean running water for 15 minutes; seek a doctor if irritation hangs on.
Skin Contact: Wash exposed skin with soap and water.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, rinse mouth, and rest; call for help if breathing stays difficult.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink some water; don’t force vomiting. Medical attention advised for bigger exposures.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam
Unsuitable Media: No special restrictions documented, water mist for smaller fires
Hazardous Decomposition: Fires may release nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides.
Protective Equipment: Standard gear including goggles, gloves, and respiratory protection in closed rooms.
Special Instructions: Isolate area from visitors; contain runoff if possible to limit chemical spreading.
Personal Precautions: Use chemical safety glasses, a dust mask, and chemical-resistant gloves.
Spill Cleanup: Avoid breathing dust; sweep up gently to keep it from flying up, then put in safe containers.
Environmental Precautions: Stop the chemical from leaking into drains or waterways.
Disposal: Waste collected from spills requires safe and proper disposal according to local regulations.
Handling: Avoid raising dust in work areas; always wear basic protective gear, especially if working with larger amounts.
Storage: Keep in tightly-sealed containers, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated spot.
Incompatibles: Strong acids, bases, and oxidizing chemicals can react, so separate them on shelves.
General: Keep away from children and pets, and avoid direct sunlight.
Engineering Controls: Good ventilation—lab hoods or exhaust fans—goes a long way to keep the air clean.
Personal Protection: Chemical goggles, gloves that fit, and a dust mask or N95 respirator for bigger projects.
Hygiene: Thorough hand washing after chemical contact protects even more than gloves.
Limits: Workplace exposure limits for this chemical have not been established, so erring on the cautious side keeps people safe.
Form: Fine powder or crystalline solid
Color: Off-white or pale yellow
Odor: Little to none
Melting Point: 215–217°C
Solubility: Low in water, better in DMSO and other organic solvents
Boiling Point: Data not widely available.
Vapor Pressure: Negligible at room temperature.
pH: Slightly basic in solution.
Chemical Stability: Remains stable under dry, cool storage away from sunlight.
Potential Reactions: Strong acids or bases can alter it; oxidizers may trigger break-down.
Hazardous Decomposition: Heat or fire could yield nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides.
Polymerization: Doesn’t polymerize on its own.
Acute Toxicity: Animal studies show low toxicity by ingestion and skin contact.
Chronic Effects: No data showing carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or reproductive harm to humans with typical lab or field use.
Irritation: Dust can irritate eyes and skin, but not known for serious risks.
Sensitization: No strong evidence that repeated skin contact causes allergic reactions.
Persistence: Expected to break down slowly in soil, especially with sunlight and moisture.
Bioaccumulation: Little evidence for build-up in animals or plants.
Effects on Wildlife: Limited studies show minor impact, but responsible application limits runoff to streams and ponds.
Mobility: Low water solubility helps keep it from traveling far underground.
Recommended Disposal: Collect in sealed containers; use local hazardous waste facilities so the chemical doesn’t slip into soil or water.
Contaminated Packaging: Rinse and treat packagings as hazardous unless sure they’re completely clean.
Regulation: Never mix with general trash or toss down the drain, even in small amounts.
UN Number: Not classified under common hazardous material transport codes.
Transport Conditions: Closed containers, labeled with chemical name, kept cool and dry for longer trips.
Special Precautions: Vehicle drivers and handlers need information about the product, even though it does not usually face special restrictions in most places.
Local Regulations: No restrictions for small-scale lab or agricultural work, though bulk shipments may trigger record-keeping or notification rules.
Global Perspective: Not on lists for highly restricted or banned substances in major international protocols.
Worker Safety: Standard chemical handling rules under OSHA or equivalent agencies offer a good layer of protection.
Environmental: Responsible disposal and keeping up with regional updates helps prevent regulatory snags as research grows.
