1-Nitropropane is a nitro derivative of propane .

Occurrence and manufacture

1-Nitropropane is produced industrially by the reaction of propane and nitric acid. This reaction produces four nitroalkanes : nitromethane , nitroethane , 1-nitropropane and 2-nitropropane .

properties

1-Nitropropane is a clear liquid with a fruity odor, warning in dangerous concentrations. It is flammable, moderately to poorly volatile and can form explosive mixtures with air. 1-Nitropropane is sparingly soluble in water, but can be mixed with many organic solvents. It is also sometimes used as a solvent for organic compounds . Technical nitropropane can be colored slightly yellow.

use

1-Nitropropane is used as a building block in organic synthesis. However, it is also rarely used as a solvent in paints and toners.

toxicology

1-Nitropropane is easily absorbed through the respiratory tract, concentrations above 150 ppm cause eye irritation. Particularly high concentrations can cause irritation of the respiratory tract, headache and nausea. Cases of intoxication by 1-nitropropane are not known.

Reactions

1-Nitropropane can be decomposed into toxic gases when exposed to heat. It reacts violently with oxidizing agents and strong bases .
