Hazard and Precautionary Statements (GHS)

Benedectin. Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Definition

ChEBI: Pyridoxine hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of pyridoxine. It is a hydrochloride and a vitamin B6. It contains a pyridoxine.

General Description

White powder.

Air & Water Reactions

Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

A mixture of esters and amines. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
