1. Basic Info
Name: Nitrazolam
Alias: 1-Methyl-8-nitro-6-phenyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepine
CAS No.: 28910-99-8
Molecular Formula: C17H13N5O2
Molecular Weight: 319.32
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Pale yellow crystalline powder, odorless
- Solubility: Insoluble in water; soluble in chloroform, dichloromethane, DMSO; slightly soluble in methanol, ethanol
- Melting Point: 214–217 ℃ (decomposes slightly)
- UV characteristic: Characteristic absorption peaks at 230 nm, 350 nm in methanol solution
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal ambient humidity
- Crystal form: Fine needle crystal recrystallized from ethanol
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Triazolobenzodiazepine psychoactive compound, contains nitro group, triazole ring and benzodiazepine fused ring
- Reduction characteristic: Aromatic nitro group can be reduced to amino group under reducing agent
- Photodegradation: Sensitive to ultraviolet light, long-term illumination generates degradation impurities
- Acid-base stability: Stable in neutral and weak acid environment; concentrated strong acid hydrolyzes triazole ring
- Thermal stability: Stable below 180 ℃; above melting point thermal decomposition produces toxic nitrogen-containing fragments
- Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous halogenated solvents; avoid mixing with strong oxidants, strong reducing agents
3. Main Application Fields
