Chemical Properties
BROWN-GREY CRYSTALLINE POWDER
General Description
Grayish-black crystalline solid or brown crystals.
Air & Water Reactions
P-ANISIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
An acidic organic salt. 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.
Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition P-ANISIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE emits very toxic fumes.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for P-ANISIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE are not available. P-ANISIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE is probably combustible.
Safety Profile
Questionable
carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic
and tumorigenic data. Mutation data
reported. When heated to decomposition it
emits very toxic fumes of NOx and HCl.
