Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
2-Methylphenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutant from polystyrene plastic. | [General Description]
White crystalline solid. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as 2-METHYLPHENANTHRENE, and strong oxidizing agents. They can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds. Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction. 2-METHYLPHENANTHRENE may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. | [Fire Hazard]
Flash point data for 2-METHYLPHENANTHRENE are not available. 2-METHYLPHENANTHRENE is probably combustible. |
