Реакции воздуха и воды

Fumes in air. Reacts exothermically with water (including moisture in air or soil) to form hydrochloric acid and insoluble anisic acid [Merck 11th ed. 1989].

Профиль реактивности

ANISOYL CHLORIDE reacts exothermically with bases, including amines. Incompatible with water, strong oxidizing agents, alcohols. Sealed containers held at room temperature may explode, due to slow decomposition that builds up pressure. This situation is more dangerous with heat. May react vigorously or explosively with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291].

Опасность

Solutions corrosive to tissue. Explosion risk when in closed containers due to pressure caused by decomposition at room temperature.

Угроза здоровью

Vapor irritates mucous membranes. Contact of liquid with eyes or skin causes severe irritation. Ingestion causes severe irritation of mouth and stomach.

Пожароопасность

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating hydrogen chloride fumes may be formed.

Химическая реактивность

Reactivity with Water Reacts slowly to generate hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid). The reaction is not hazardous; Reactivity with Common Materials: Corrodes metal slowly; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Flush with water, rinse with sodium bicarbonate or lime solution; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.

Профиль безопасности

Corrosive to skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and other tissue.Evolves HCl by hydrolysis. A storage hazard; can explode spontaneously at room temperature. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cland may explode.

хранилище

Stored in a closed container can cause an explosion due to the pressure caused by decomposition, should be stored at low temperature (5°C).

Структура и конформация

Anisoyl chloride, also known as methoxybenzoyl chloride), is an acyl halide, specifically an aromatic acyl chloride, and may be formed from anisic acid by replacing a hydroxyl group of the carboxylic acid with a chloride group. There are three isomers: the ortho-, meta-, and para- forms. 4-Methoxybenzoyl chloride is para- forms. Their structures differ in the arene substitution pattern—the location of the methoxy group on the ring as compared to the acyl halide.
