ChEBI: A member of the class of phenanthrenes that is phenanthrene substituted by a methyl group at position 1. | [General Description]
White crystalline powder. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as 1-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. 1-METHYLPHENANTHRENE is sensitive to excessive heat and light. | [Fire Hazard]
Flash point data for 1-METHYLPHENANTHRENE are not available. 1-METHYLPHENANTHRENE is probably combustible. | [Source]
Detected in 8 diesel fuels at concentrations ranging from 0.10 to 210 mg/L with a mean
value of 44.33 mg/L (Westerholm and Li, 1994). Identified in a South Louisiana crude oil at a
concentration of 111 ppm (Pancirov and Brown, 1975). Schauer et al. (1999) reported 1-
methylphenanthrene in diesel fuel at a concentration of 28 μg/g and in a diesel-powered mediumduty
truck exhaust at an emission rate of 17.0 μg/km.
California Phase II reformulated gasoline contained 1-methylphenathrene at a concentration of
3.91 g/kg. Gas-phase tailpipe emission rates from gasoline-powered automobiles with and without
catalytic converters were approximately 1.63 and 122 μg/km, respectively (Schauer et al., 2002).
Schauer et al. (2001) measured organic compound emission rates for volatile organic
compounds, gas-phase semi-volatile organic compounds, and particle-phase organic compounds
from the residential (fireplace) combustion of pine, oak, and eucalyptus. The respective gas-phase
and particle-phase emission rates of 1-methylphenanthrene were 2.22 and 0.579 mg/kg of pine
burned and 1.04 and 0.050 mg/kg of oak burned. The gas-phase emission rate was 0.720 mg/kg of
eucalyptus burned. |
