6-NITROCHRYSENE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

brown powder

Uses

There is no evidence that 6-nitrochrysene has been used commercially for any purpose. 6-Nitrochrysene is used as an internal standard in the chemical analysis of nitroarenes (IARC 1989). It is available for research purposes at a purity of at least 98% and as a reference material at a certified purity of 98.9%.

Uses

6-Nitrochrysene is a nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and a carcinogen selector. An environmental contaminant and a carcinogen.

Definition

ChEBI: 6-Nitrochrysene is a carbopolycyclic compound.

General Description

Chrome-red thick prismatic crystals or orange-yellow needles (recrystallized from pyridine or xylene).

Reactivity Profile

6-NITROCHRYSENE reacts with tin and hydrochloric acid in glacial acetic acid. 6-NITROCHRYSENE also reacts with bromine and fuming nitric acid.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition 6-NITROCHRYSENE emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 6-NITROCHRYSENE are not available; however, 6-NITROCHRYSENE is probably combustible.

Carcinogenicity

6-Nitrochrysene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
