2-Mercaptoethanol Chemical Properties,Usage,Production |
Chemical Properties
Clear colorless liquid |
|
Usage
2-Mercaptoethanol is used in the synthesis of nano-graphene for cellular imaging and drug delivery. Also used in the synthesis of multifunctional polymeric micelle used in specific targeting of tumor disruption. |
|
General Description
A water-white liquid. May be toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption. |
|
Air & Water Reactions
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water. |
|
Reactivity Profile
Organosulfides, such as 2-Mercaptoethanol, are incompatible with acids, diazo and azo compounds, halocarbons, isocyanates, aldehydes, alkali metals, nitrides, hydrides, and other strong reducing agents. Reactions with these materials generate heat and in many cases hydrogen gas. Many of these compounds may liberate hydrogen sulfide upon decomposition or reaction with an acid. |
|
Health Hazard
TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. |
|
Fire Hazard
Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. |
