N-ETHYL-4-NITROANILINE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

purple-black crystals, or yellow crystals with a blue-violet lustre

Uses

N-Ethyl-4-nitroaniline is a propellant stabilizer. It is also used as building block.

General Description

Yellow crystals with blue-violet luster (from ethanol) or purple-black crystalline solid.

Air & Water Reactions

N-ETHYL-4-NITROANILINE is sensitive to prolonged exposure to air.

Reactivity Profile

N-ETHYL-4-NITROANILINE is basic. Reacts exothermically with acids to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Reaction with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides may generate flammable gaseous hydrogen.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for N-ETHYL-4-NITROANILINE are not available. N-ETHYL-4-NITROANILINE is probably combustible.
