1,3-DIMETHYLBUTYL ACETATE Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid; mild odor. Insoluble in water; soluble in alcohol. Combustible.

Uses

Solvent for nitrocellulose and other lacquers.

Uses

Lacquer industry; fragrances; flavor compositions

Production Methods

sec-Hexyl acetate is produced via catalytic reaction of 4- methyl-2-pentanol and acetic acid. It also occurs naturally in apples and their leaves.

Preparation

by direct esterification of Methyl-iso-butylcarbinol with Acetic acid or Acetic anhydride.

General Description

A clear colorless liquid. Flash point 95°F. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Vapors heavier than air.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

1,3-DIMETHYLBUTYL ACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. 1,3-DIMETHYLBUTYL ACETATE is incompatible with the following: Nitrates; strong oxidizers, alkalis & acids .

Hazard

Moderate fire risk. Toxic by inhalation.

Health Hazard

Headache, dizziness, nausea, irritation to respiratory passages. Irritates eyes.

Fire Hazard

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.

Chemical Reactivity

Reactivity with Water No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No reaction; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.

Potential Exposure

(n-isomer): Primary irritant (w/o allergic reaction), (sec-isomer) Human Data. Amyl acetates are used as industrial solvents and in the manufacturing and dry-cleaning industry; making artificial fruit-flavoring agents; cements, coated papers, lacquers; in medications as an inflammatory agent; pet repellents, insecticides and miticide. Many other uses.

Environmental Fate

Chemical/Physical. Slowly hydrolyzes in water forming 4-methyl-2-pentanol and acetic acid.

Shipping

UN1993 Flammable liquids, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 3; Labels: 3-Flammable liquid, Technical Name Required.

Incompatibilities

Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides, nitrates. May soften certain plastics.

Waste Disposal

Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
