SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
no data available
Chemical stability
Stable in light and air
Possibility of hazardous reactions
4-HYDROXYPYRAZOLO(3,4-D)PYRIMIDINE is an amine derivative. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides. This chemical darkens above 572° F, and at an indefinite high temperature, it chars and decomposes. At 221° F, maximum stability occurs at pH 3.1- 3.4. This chemical decomposes in acidic and basic solutions.
Conditions to avoid
no data available

Hazardous decomposition products

Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for allopurinol(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.55(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of allopurinol is estimated as 71(SRC), using a log Kow of -0.55(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that allopurinol is expected to have high mobility in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
