N-Nitrosodicyclohexylamine(CAT: R012980) is a secondary nitrosamine compound composed of two cyclohexyl groups bound to a central nitrogen bearing a nitroso (-N=O) functional group. It appears as a pale yellow to orange oily liquid and is primarily used in chemical research, toxicology studies, and as a reference standard in nitrosamine contamination analysis. Due to its structural similarity to other N-nitrosamines, it is monitored in pharmaceutical and environmental safety assessments. N-Nitrosodicyclohexylamine is recognized for its potential carcinogenicity, and thus requires careful handling under controlled laboratory conditions. It serves as a model compound in studies of nitrosamine formation, metabolism, and DNA reactivity.
