General Description

Clear colorless to pale yellow liquid with an herbaceous celery-like odor.

Air & Water Reactions

Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2-(4-Methylphenyl)propan-2-ol is an alcohol. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. Alcohols exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. 2-(4-Methylphenyl)propan-2-ol is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.

Fire Hazard

2-(4-Methylphenyl)propan-2-ol is combustible.
