N-AMYL SULFIDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

General Description

A yellow colored liquid with an obnoxious odor. Less dense than water and slightly soluble in water. Flash point 185°F. May irritate skin, eyes and mucous membranes. May decompose to toxic oxides of sulfur when heated to high temperatures. Used to make other chemicals.

Air & Water Reactions

Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Organosulfides, such as N-AMYL SULFIDE, are incompatible with acids, diazo and azo compounds, halocarbons, isocyanates, aldehydes, alkali metals, nitrides, hydrides, and other strong reducing agents. Reactions with these materials generate heat and in many cases hydrogen gas. Many of these compounds may liberate hydrogen sulfide upon decomposition or reaction with an acid.

Health Hazard

Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
