The Uses of 2-Chloroacrylonitrile
Common reagent in cycloaddition reactions.1,2
General Description
A liquid. Boiling point 190-192°F (88-89°C). Density 1.096 g / cm3. Flash point 44°F. Highly toxic.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable.
Reactivity Profile
2-Chloroacrylonitrile readily polymerizes, and copolymerizes with other unsaturated monomers .
Health Hazard
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Safety Profile
Suspected carcinogen. Poison by intravenous route. A powerful irritant. A dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use water, dry chemical, CO2, foam. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of Cl-, NOx, and CN-. See also NITRILES.
