Sodium 2-biphenylate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light brown or beige solid

Uses

Antimicrobial additive in the manufacture of adhesives, leather, metalworking fluids, and textiles; preservative in automotive polishes, ceramic glazes, laundry starch, inks, floor wax emulsions; agricultural fungicide.

Definition

ChEBI: Sodium ortho-phenylphenate is an organic molecular entity.

General Description

Beige flaky solid. pH of saturated solution in water: 12.0-13.5.

Air & Water Reactions

Soluble in water, yielding solutions with pHs of 12.0-13.5.

Reactivity Profile

Salts, basic, such as Sodium 2-biphenylate are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH's greater than 7.0. They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible.

Hazard

Possible carcinogen.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for Sodium 2-biphenylate are not available, but Sodium 2-biphenylate is probably combustible.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Safety Profile

Suspected carcinogen withexperimental carcinogenic, neoplastigenic, andtumorigenic data. Moderately toxic by ingestion.Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Ahuman skin irritant. A severe skin irritant to experimentalanimals. When heated

Purification Methods

Crystallise the salt from acetone and dry it under vacuum at room temperature. [Beilstein 16 IV 4600.]
