Hazard InformationBack Directory
[General Description]

5-TERT-BUTYL-2,4,6-TRINITRO-M-XYLENE(81-15-2) is a white to light-colored crystalline solid. 5-TERT-BUTYL-2,4,6-TRINITRO-M-XYLENE(81-15-2) is insoluble in water and denser than water. Hence sinks in water. Contact may irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals.
[Reactivity Profile]

Self-decomposition or self-ignition may be triggered by heat, chemical reaction, friction or impact.
[Air & Water Reactions]

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.
[Health Hazard]

Inhalation or contact with vapors, substance or decomposition products may cause severe injury or death. May produce irritating, toxic and/or corrosive gases. Runoff from fire control may cause pollution.
[Fire Hazard]

Self-decomposition or self-ignition may be triggered by heat, chemical reaction, friction or impact. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May burn violently. Decomposition may be self-accelerating and produce large amounts of gases. Vapors or dust may form explosive mixtures with air.
[Chemical Properties]

Pale Yellow Solid
[Occurrence]

Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature.
[Uses]

Musk Xylene is a synthetic nitro musk. Musk Xylene is used in fragrances and soap to mimic natural musk. Studies suggest that formation of Xylene Musk adducts of rainbow trout Hb can be potentially us ed as biomarker of exposure.
[Uses]

Musk xylene is used as fragrance and fixative in after shave lotions, performs etc.; musk compound of choice for soap and detergent fragrances; some perfumery uses (soap; Norell; oriental; chypre; herbal).
[Definition]

ChEBI: A C-nitro compound that is m-xylene bearing three nitro substituents at positions 2, 4 and 6 as well as a tert-butyl group at position 5.
[Preparation]

By nitration of the corresponding benzene derivative (Bedoukian, 1967).
