Dark red flakes with waxy texture. Insoluble in water.
공기와 물의 반응
Insoluble in water.
반응 프로필
4-Chloro-2-methylphenol can react vigorously with concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions. Also reacts with other bases, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, and oxidizing agents. Corrodes steel, brass, copper and copper alloys [NTP, 1992)]. A large quantity left in contact with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution for 3 days reacted violently, attaining red heat and evolving fumes that ignited explosively. The heat of reaction dissipated poorly because of the high viscosity of the mixture [Quart. Safety Summ., 1957, 28, 39].
화재위험
4-Chloro-2-methylphenol is probably combustible.
Purification Methods
Purify the phenol by crystallisation from pet ether (m 51o) and by zone melting. [Beilstein 6 H 359, 6 I 174, 6 II 332, 6 III 1264, 6 IV 1987.]
