General Description
Dark brown crystalline solid.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
An acidic organic salt of an amine. In aqueous solution 2,4-DIMETHOXYANILINE HYDROCHLORIDE, 99 behaves as a weak acid. Materials in this group 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.
Health Hazard
SYMPTOMS: Symptoms of exposure to related compounds include local irritation of the eyes, mucous membranes and skin. Allergic responses have been known to occur.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for 2,4-DIMETHOXYANILINE HYDROCHLORIDE, 99 are not available; however, 2,4-DIMETHOXYANILINE HYDROCHLORIDE, 99 is probably combustible.
