TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 60(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.3X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(3). 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 5.0X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(4).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 60(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.3X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow of 0.83(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole is not expected to hydrolyze in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 5.0X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 80 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.0X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole may be removed from the air by wet or dry deposition(SRC). 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.83(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).

The Henry's Law constant for 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole is estimated as 5.3X10-12 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 1-amino-5-nitrothiazole is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(2). 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 5.0X10-5 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3).

/LABORATORY ANIMALS: Developmental or Reproductive Toxicity/ 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole (ANT), along with several other nitroheterocyclic compounds with relatively low single-electron redox potential, was tested for embryotoxicity in cultured rat embryos. The effects were compared with those of other 5-membered heterocycles. Sprague-Dawley rat embryos were explanted on day 10 of gestation and grown in culture medium to which the test compounds were added. After 26 hr in culture, the embryos were removed and examined for malformations. Six of the 7 embryos cultured were viable after exposure to 1 mM concentration of ANT and all six were abnormal. Five exhibited bilateral prosencephalic hypoplasia and one had abnormal rotation of flexure. Growth parameters were significantly lower than controls, but ANT failed to elicit axial asymmetry.

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 2.0X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 80 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole is not expected to hydrolyze in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2). 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole's production and use in synthesis and as a veterinary medication may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 5.0X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 80 days. Particulate-phase 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole will be removed from the atmosphere by wet or dry deposition. 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole is expected to have high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 60. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 5.3X10-12 atm-cu m/mole. If released into water, 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. Occupational exposure to 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole may occur through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole is produced or used. (SRC)

DEACETYLATION OF 2-ACETAMIDO-5-NITROTHIAZOLE

Prepared by deacetylation of 2-acetamido-5-nitrothiazole: Hubbard; Steahly, US patents 2,573,641; 2,573,656-7 (all 1951 to Monsanto).

Early production of /2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole/ was based on nitration of 2-acetylaminothiazole and careful hydrolysis. Direct nitration of 2-aminothiazole gives a cleaner product and is best achieved by adding 2-aminothiazole nitrate to concentrated sulfuric acid at 0 - 10 °C. This process and the nitration of o-anisidine are the only large-scale processes based on rearrangement of an amine nitrate, and both are potentially hazardous due to the possibility of runaway exothermic reactions.
