2-Chloroacrylonitrile (cas# 920-37-6) is a compound useful in organic synthesis.
A liquid. Boiling point 190-192°F (88-89°C). Density 1.096 g / cm3. Flash point 44°F. Highly toxic.
2-Chloroacrylonitrile readily polymerizes, and copolymerizes with other unsaturated monomers .
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Suspected carcinogen.
Poison by intravenous route. A powerful
irritant. A dangerous fire hazard when
exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use
water, dry chemical, CO2, foam. When
heated to decomposition it emits very toxic
fumes of Cl-, NOx, and CN-. See also
