beige crystalline powder

Beige crystals. pH (25 mg/ml solution) 5.72.

Slightly water soluble. Aqueous solutions are weakly acidic.

Acidic organic/inorganic salts, such as Phenbenzamine hydrochloride, are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.

SYMPTOMS: On ingestion, Phenbenzamine hydrochloride will cause drowsiness and general central nervous system effects.

The flash point of Phenbenzamine hydrochloride has not been determined. Phenbenzamine hydrochloride is probably combustible.

ChEBI: Phenbenzamine hydrochloride is an organic molecular entity.

Poison by ingestion, intravenous, and subcutaneous routes. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of HCl and NOx. Used as an antihistaminic agent.
