| Chemical Properties |
CLEAR BROWN LIQUID |
| General Description |
A clear yellow to dark brown liquid. Insoluble in water and denser than water. Corrosive to skin, and eyes. Vapors severely irritate respiratory tract. |
| Air & Water Reactions |
Insoluble in water. Decomposes exothermically in water yielding fumes of toxic hydrogen chloride. |
| Reactivity Profile |
THIOPHENE-2-ACETYL CHLORIDE is incompatible with water, bases (including amines), with strong oxidizing agents, and with alcohols. May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291]. |
| Health Hazard |
TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. |
| Fire Hazard |
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. |
