3-Methyl-1-butanol Chemical Properties,Usage,Production |
Chemical Properties
colourless liquid |
|
Usage
Isoamylol is one of the several isomers of amyl alcohol and the main ingredient in the production of banana oil. |
|
General Description
Colorless liquid with a mild, choking alcohol odor. Less dense than water, soluble in water. Hence floats on water. Produces an irritating vapor. |
|
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable. Water soluble. |
|
Reactivity Profile
3-Methyl-1-butanol attacks plastics [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980. p. 236]. Mixtures with concentrated sulfuric acid and strong hydrogen peroxide may cause explosions. Mixing with hypochlorous acid in water or water/carbon tetrachloride solution can generate isoamyl hypochlorites, which may explode, particularly on exposure to sunlight or heat. Mixing with chlorine would also yield isoamyl hypochlorites [NFPA 491 M, 1991]. Base-catalysed reactions with isocyanates can occur with explosive violence [Wischmeyer,1969]. |
|
Health Hazard
Very high vapor concentrations irritate eyes and upper respiratory tract. Continued contact with skin may cause irritation. |
