| Specification: |
2-Amino-3-methylimidazo(4,5-f)quinoline , its cas register number is 76180-96-6. It also can be called 2-Amino-3-methyl-3H-imidazo(4,5-f)quinoline ; 3-Methyl-3H-imidazo(4,5-f)quinolin-2-amine ; IQ ; 3H-Imidazo(4,5-f)quinolin-2-amine, 3-methyl- .It is a light tan crystalline solid or tan powder.It is highly mutagenic in the Ames test. Investigations have shown that this compound may be present in broiled fish, fried beef, commercial beef extracts and protein pyrolysates.It is sensitive to light and air and insoluble in water. It may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to heat. It is stable under moderately acidic and alkaline conditions and in cold dilute aqueous solutions when protected from light.It is rapidly degraded by dilute hypochlorite. |
