535-13-7

A clear colorless liquid with a pungent odor. Flash point of 100°F. Denser than water and insoluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air.

ETHYL 2-CHLOROPROPIONATE(535-13-7) is a halogenated ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

This material is used in organic synthesis.

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. Medical observation is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed. As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized paramedic may consider administering a drug or other inhalation therapy.

UN2935 Ethyl 2-chloropropionate, Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid.

Flammable liquid; forms explosive mixture with air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides, and reducing agents. Esters are generally incompatible with nitrates. Moisture may cause hydrolysis or other forms of decomposition. Esters react with acids releasing heat in addition to alcohols and acids. Contact with caustic solutions generate heat. Contact with esters with alkali metals and hydrides releases flammable hydrogen.

Ethyl-2-chloropropionate is a liquid with apleasant odor. Molecular weight = 136.8; Boilingpoint = 147℃; Flash point = 41.8℃

Color Code—Red: Flammability Hazard: Store in aflammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Prior to working with this chemical you should be trained onits proper handling and storage. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from acids, bases,oxidizing and reducing agents. Sources of ignition, such assmoking and open flames, are prohibited where ethyl-2-chloropropionate is used, handled, or stored in a manner thatcould create a potential fire or explosion hazard
