Hehe... Any new chemical compound will not be considered hazardous / toxic etc, until a significant amount has been released into the environment. So

1. Figure out how to mass-produce the stuff 2. Come up with some totally unnecessary household & industrial applications, that involve the chemical's release into the environment 3. Find out it's hazardous. Or toxic. Or both. And -bonus points!- doesn't break down.
