Characterization of a Stable 2,2′-Azobis(2-Methylpropanenitrile) Degradant and Its Use to Monitor the Oxidative Environment During Forced Degradation Studies by Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry

Azo compounds are commonly used to study radical-mediated degradation of pharmaceutical compounds. The favorable chemical and physical properties of 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropanenitrile) (AIBN) have made it one of the most widely used compound for these type of studies. This article describes the characterization of a stable product, N-(1-cyano-1-methylethyl)-2-methylpropanamide, formed during the decomposition of AIBN. This product is easily detected by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and can serve as a marker to confirm the AIBN is working as intended and to monitor the kinetic formation of free radical species.

Surface Photochemistry: Evidence for Rotational and Translational Movement of Cyanopropyl Radicals on a Silica Gel Surface

The photolysis of azoisobutyronitrile is shown to generate radicals which, contrary to an earlier report, undergo rotational and translational movement on a silica gel surface.
