2,3-DICHLORO-1-PROPANOL Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLORLESS LIQUID

Chemical Properties

There are 4 isomers of dichloropropanols 1,3- dichloro-2-propanol (96-23-1) and “dichloropropanols” (26545-73-3) are citations in environmental regulations: C3H6OCl2 is a colorless viscous liquid with a chloroformlike odor. Slightly soluble in water. 1,3-Dichloro-2- propanol:

Uses

2,3-Dichloro-1-propanol may be employed as carbon and energy supplement for the growth of Pseudomonas putida strain (MC4).

Uses

An isomer of dichloropropanol; shows metabolite toxicity.

General Description

Viscous colorless to amber liquid with an ethereal odor.

Air & Water Reactions

May be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air. Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2,3-DICHLORO-1-PROPANOL is incompatible with oxidizers, oxygen and peroxides.

Fire Hazard

2,3-DICHLORO-1-PROPANOL is combustible.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion and skin contact. Moderately toxic by inhalation. A skin and severe eye irritant. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, AROMATIC.

Potential Exposure

It is used as a solvent for hard resins and nitrocellulose; in the manufacture of photographic chemicals and lacquer; as a cement for celluloid; and as a binder of water colors. It occurs in effluents from glycerol and halohydrin production plants.

Shipping

UN2750 1,3-Dichloropropanol-2, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials

Incompatibilities

Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires orexplosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong acids, acid anhydrides, strong bases
