2° Amines to N-Nitrosamines : Reaction with NaNO2

Secondary amines react with nitrous acid to form N-nitrosamines, as depicted in Figure 1. Nitrous acid, a weak and unstable acid, is formed in situ from an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite and strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, in cold conditions. In the presence of an acid, the nitrous acid gets protonated. The subsequent loss of water results in the formation of the electrophile known as nitrosonium ion.\r\n \r\n Figure 1. The nitration reaction of secondary amines\r\n The secondary amine acting as a nucleophile reacts with the nitrosonium ion to give another ion known as the N-nitrosammonium ion. The resulting ion is then deprotonated by water to form secondary N-nitrosamines. This mechanism of the reaction is illustrated in Figure 2. The secondary N-nitrosamines are separable from the reaction mixture as oily yellow liquids.\r\n \r\n Figure 2. The mechanism of nitration followed by dehydration\r\n Usually, secondary N-nitrosamines are less significant for commercial use. However, they are studied due to their potent carcinogenic properties. In Norway (1962), an outbreak of food poisoning in sheep was attributed to nitrite-treated fish meal. Sodium nitrite is used to preserve various types of food and meat. In the stomach, they react with stomach acid to form nitrous acid. The nitrous acid then reacts with secondary amines in the food to give highly carcinogenic N-nitrosamines. For this reason, the usage of sodium nitrite has been limited by FDA to 50 to 125 ppm in meat preservation. N-nitrosamines are also found in cigarette and tobacco smoke.\r\n
