95-69-2

Gray to white solid with a weak fishy odor. Sinks in water. Freezing point is 77°F.

4-CHLORO-O-TOLUIDINE(95-69-2) is incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, chloroformates and strong oxidizing agents. . A halogenated amine. Amines are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

May be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Insoluble in water.

Toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Probable carcinogen.

Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact causes bluish tint in fingernails, lips, and ears. Headache, drowsiness, and nausea also occur. Contact with eyes causes irritation.

Most of the isomers are used in dyestuff manufacture. The 3-chloro-para isomer is used to kill birds. It is marketed as pelleted bait for control of bird populations.

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen and hydrochloric acid fumes may form.

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.

UN2239 Chlorotoluidines, solid, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials. UN3429 Chlorotoluidines, liquid, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1- Poisonous materials

Incompatible with oxidizers, strong acids; chloroformates, and acid anhydrides, isocyanates, aldehydes forming fire and explosive hazards.

clear brown liquid

The chloromethylanilines are colorless or white crystalline solids or liquids, some have a mild fishy odor.

Intermediate.

ChEBI: 4-Chloro-ortho-toluidine is a member of monochlorobenzenes.

p-Chloro-o-toluidine and its hydrochloride salt are reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens based on limited evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans and evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
