Synthesis Reference(s)
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 49, p. 438, 1984 DOI: 10.1021/jo00177a010
General Description
Needles dark brown liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
A nitrated 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.
Fire Hazard
2-Nitrophenethyl alcohol is probably combustible.
Safety Profile
Mutation data reported. Whenheated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of NOx.
