Stability and Reactivity
Start to decompose at 140 掳C. The decomposition process is extremely
Decomposition by heat:
accelerated over 150掳C. Decomposition products are NH3(gas), isobutyraldehyde and carbon dioxide.
Decomposition by mixture: When having contact with water. IBDU hydrolyzes producing urea and
isobutyraldehyde gradually. Acid accelerates the hydrolysis.

OTHER INFORMATION
Animal toxicity information:
When 35g IBDU was fed together with 500 g fodder to a female goat weighing 31-32 kg, no health
effect was observed.
IBDU was added to a fodder at the rate of 5-10% (w/w) and fed to 14 Holstein cows and 14 bulls for
6 months. Their blood and liver function was examined and no damage was found.
Tumorigenic data according to 鈥淩EGISTRY OF TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES鈥?
Oral; mouse TDLo 32 gm/kg/2OW-1
rat TDLo 64 gm/kg/2OW-1
Environmental Effects
In contact with water, this substance hydrolyses and produce urea and isobutyraldehyde. Urea is
biologically degraded into ammonia and carbon dioxide. Isobutyraldehyde volatilises or is
biologically degraded into carbon dioxide.
