1-Bromo-2,3-epoxypropane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Bromohydrin pyrophosphate enhances antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity induced by therapeutic antibodies.

Definition

ChEBI: An epoxide that is oxirane substituted by a bromomethyl group at position 2.

General Description

A colorless volatile liquid. Flash point 22°F. Slightly soluble in water and denser than water. Toxic by inhalation and ingestion. A strong skin irritant. Used to make rubber.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Slightly soluble in water. Sensitive to prolonged exposure to light and moisture.

Reactivity Profile

1-Bromo-2,3-epoxypropane reacts with acids, bases, oxidizing agents, Na, Zn, Al, Mg and their alloys. .

Health Hazard

TOXIC; may be fatal if inhaled, ingested or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with some of these materials will irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion and poison hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.

Safety Profile

Human mutation data reported. A dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Br-. See also BROMIDES.
