General Description

Colorless crystals. Yellow needles from hexane, melting point 117-8°C.

Reactivity Profile

1-Aminopyrene neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides.

Fire Hazard

1-Aminopyrene is probably combustible.
