3-Nitrotoluene Usage And Synthesis | |
Chemical Properties | yellow-green liquid |
Definition | ChEBI: A mononitrotoluene carrying a nitro group at position 3. |
General Description | Yellow crystals that melt at 59°F to a yellow liquid. Often therefore encountered as a liquid. Flash point 223°F. Boiling point 450°F. Insoluble in water. Toxic by inhalation and ingestion. |
Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. |
Reactivity Profile | 3-Nitrotoluene reacts with sulfuric acid, strong oxidizing agents and reducing agents. |
Health Hazard | INHALATION, INGESTION OR SKIN ABSORPTION: Headache, flushing of face, dizziness, difficult breathing, cyanosis, nausea, vomiting, muscular weakness, increased pulse and respiratory rate, irritability and convulsions. EYES: Slight irrita- tion. SKIN: Slight irritation. |
Purification Methods | Dry 3-nitrotoluene over P2O5 for 24hours, then fractionally distil it under reduced pressure. [Clark & Taylor Org. Synth Coll Vol I 415 1941, Beilstein 5 IV 847.] |
