Acetophenone oxime is a solid but slightly soluble substance. It is incompatible with strong
oxidizing agents, moisture, acids, metal, and alkali compounds. On decomposition, acetophenone
oxime releases irritating and toxic fumes and gases. There are no published data
about the hazardous polymerization of acetophenone oxime.
1-Phenylethanone Oxime is a useful reagent for organic synthesis
Exposures to acetophenone oxime cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and the respiratory
and digestive tracts. The toxicological properties of acetophenone oxime are not been fully
investigated.
Poison by an unspecified route.Slightly toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition itemits toxic vapors of NOx.
Acetophenone oxime should be kept stored in a cool, dry place and in a closed container
when not in use.
On exposures to acetophenone oxime, occupational workers should immediately fl ush the
eyes with plenty of water. Workers should use proper personal protective equipment, wear
appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure, and wear appropriate protective eyeglasses
or chemical safety goggles as described.
