PHENYL ISOCYANIDE DICHLORIDE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

colourless to light yellow liquid

Chemical Properties

An oily, clear to pale -yellow liquid. Onionlike odor.

Synthesis Reference(s)

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 44, p. 2896, 1922 DOI: 10.1021/ja01433a027

General Description

A pale yellow oily liquid with an odor of onions. Highly toxic by inhalation and skin absorption. Strongly irritates skin and mucous membranes. Density 1.265 g / cm3. Insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol. Noncombustible.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water. Slowly decomposed in water.

Reactivity Profile

PHENYL ISOCYANIDE DICHLORIDE may be incompatible with water, strong oxidizing agents, alcohols. Sealed containers held at room temperature may explode, due to slow decomposition that builds up pressure. This situation is more dangerous with heat. May react vigorously or explosively with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291].

Health Hazard

Highly toxic, may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways.

Safety Profile

A poison by inhalation. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of NOx and Cl

Potential Exposure

Phenylcarbylamine is used in organic synthesis; making other chemicals. A laboratory chemical and a former battlefield gas

Shipping

UN1672 Phenylcarbylamine chloride, Hazard class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poison Inhalation Hazard; Inhalation Hazard Zone B. PGI.

Incompatibilities

Reacts slowly with water releasing hydrogen chloride. Sealed containers stored at room temperature may explode, due to slow decomposition that builds up pressure. Heat increases the danger of explosion . Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. alcohols.

Waste Disposal

Use a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material. Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed. It is not appropriate to dispose of expired or waste product such as lab chemicals by flushing them down the toilet or discarding them to the trash. Larger quantities shall carefully take into consideration applicable EPA, and FDA regulations. If possible return the lab chemicals to the manufacturer for proper disposal being careful to properly label and securely package the material. Alternatively, the waste lab chemicals shall be labeled, securely packaged and transported by a state licensed medical waste contractor to dispose by burial in a licensed hazardous or toxic waste landfill or incinerator. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.
