General Description
A colorless liquid with a fishlike odor. Insoluble in water and denser than water. Toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Used to make dyes and pharmaceuticals.
Reactivity Profile
3-TRIFLUOROMETHYLANILINE(98-16-8) is a halogenated amine derivative. 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.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Health Hazard
Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. May be poisonous if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin.
Potential Exposure
This material is used as a chemical
intermediate for herbicides, antihypertensives, and diuretics.
Fire Hazard
This material may burn but does not ignite readily. Cylinder may explode in heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, 3-TRIFLUOROMETHYLANILINE emits very toxic fumes of fluorides and nitrogen oxides.
First aid
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.
384 Benzenamine, 3-(Trifluoromethyl)-
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. Keep
victim quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Effects
may be delayed; keep victim under observation.
