4-Chloro-1,3-benzenediamine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Crystals. Soluble in ethanol; slightly soluble in water; insoluble in petroleum ether.

Uses

This compound has uses in dye production and in rubber processing.

Uses

4-Chloro-1,3-diaminobenzene has been used to study the mutagenic effect of phenylenediamines hair chemicals on Salmonella typhimurium TA 102.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Chloro-meta-phenylenediamine is a member of monochlorobenzenes.

General Description

Gray powder or dark purple solid.

Air & Water Reactions

4-Chloro-1,3-benzenediamine is sensitive to prolonged exposure to light and air. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

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.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: 4-Chloro-1,3-benzenediamine is a positive animal carcinogen and suspected human carcinogen.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 4-Chloro-1,3-benzenediamine are not available; however, 4-Chloro-1,3-benzenediamine is probably combustible.

Safety Profile

Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, and tumorigenic data. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl and NOx. See also AROMATIC AMINES.
