2-Chloronaphthalene Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

2-Chloronaphthalene is a white to almost white crystalline powder and is practically insoluble in water. The chlorinated naphthalenes, which are derived from naphthalene through the replacement of one or more hydrogen atoms by chlorine, result in the formation of wax-like substances. This process starts with monochloronaphthalene and continues to the octachlor derivatives. The physical state of these substances can vary from mobile liquids to waxy solids, depending on the degree of chlorination. The freezing/melting points of the pure compounds range from 17°C for 1-chloronaphthalene to 198°C for 1,2,3,4-tetrachloronaphthalene.

Uses

2-Chloronaphthalene was used as a reagent in the enantioselective synthesis of heterocyclic ketones with α-chiral quaternary stereocentres. When used as a processing additive in bulk heterojunction solar cells, it doubles its power conversion efficiency.

Application

2-Chloronaphthalene can be used to:
As an inducer, it was shown that 2-chloronaphthalene is a potent inducer of cytochrome p450 activity.
As a synthetic raw material, 2-chloronaphthalene is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a precursor for other compounds in the synthesis of malonic acid.
As a biological research reagent, 2-chloronaphthalene is used in experimental studies of biodegradation and metabolism in Pseudomonas aeruginosa[1-2].

Reactions

2-Chloronaphthalene may react with strong oxidizing agents.

General Description

Monoclinic plates or off-white crystalline powder. Melting point 59.5°C. Chlorinated naphthalenes were formerly used in the production of electric condensers, insulating electric condensers, electric cables, and wires; additive for high pressure lubricants.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2-Chloronaphthalene may react with strong oxidizing agents .

Health Hazard

2-Chloronaphthalene is a strong irritant. It may be absorbed through the skin. When heated to decomposition, toxic fumes of chlorides are released. Prolonged exposure to such compounds may cause symptoms such as chloracne, cysts, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, anorexia and jaundice.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 2-Chloronaphthalene are not available. 2-Chloronaphthalene is probably combustible.

Potential Exposure

Industrial exposure from individual chlorinated naphthalenes is rarely encountered; rather it usually occurs from mixtures of two or more Chlorinated naphthalenes. Due to their stability, thermoplasticity, and nonflammability, these compounds enjoy wide industrial application. These compounds are used in the production of electric condensers; in the insulation of electric cables and wires; as additives to extreme pressure lubricants; as supports for storage batteries; and as a coating in foundry use. octachloro-: Used as a fireproof and waterproof additive and lubricant additive. Pentachloro-: Used in electric wire insulation and in additives to special lubricants. tetrachloro-: Used in electrical insulating materials and as an additive in cutting oils. trichloro-: Used in lubricants and in the manufacture of insulation for electrical wire. Because of the possible potentiation of the toxicity of higher Chlorinated naphthalenes by ethanol and carbon tetrachloride, individuals who ingest enough alcohol to result in liver dysfunction would be a special group at risk. Individuals, e.g., analytical and synthetic chemists, mechanics and cleaners, who are routinely exposed to carbon tetrachloride or other hepatotoxic chemicals would also be at a greater risk than a population without such exposure. Individuals involved in the manufacture, utilization, or disposal of polychlorinated naphthalenes would be expected to have higher levels of exposure than the general population.

Environmental Fate

Biological. Reported biodegradation products include 8-chloro-1,2-dihydro-1,2- dihydroxynaphthalene and 3-chlorosalicylic acid (Callahan et al., 1979). When 2-chloronaphthalene was statically incubated in the dark at 25 °C with yeast extract and settled domestic wastewater inoculum, complete biodegradation was observed after 7 d (Tabak et al., 1981).
Chemical/Physical. The hydrolysis rate constant for 2-chloronaphthalene at pH 7 and 25 °C was determined to be 9.5 x 10-6/h, resulting in a half-life of 8.3 yr (Ellington et al., 1988). At 85.5 °C, hydrolysis half-lives of 255, 156, and 244 d were reported at pH values of 2.93, 7.10, and 9.58, respectively (Ellington et al., 1977).
At influent concentrations of 1.0, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 mg/L, the GAC adsorption capacities were 280, 96, 33, and 11 mg/g, respectively (Dobbs and Cohen, 1980).

Shipping

UN3082 Environmentally hazardous substances, liquid, n.o.s., Hazard class: 9; Labels: 9-Miscellaneous hazardous material, Technical Name Required.

Purification Methods

Distil 2-chloronaphthalene in a vacuum, then crystallise it from 25% EtOH/water, then dry it under vacuum (see also the 1-isomer above). [Beilstein 5 H 541, 5 I 262, 5 II 445, 5 III 1573, 5 IV 1660.]

Incompatibilities

All are 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. Keep away from heat. Penta- is also incompatible with acids, alkalis.

Waste Disposal

High-temperature incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Incineration, preferably after mixing with another combustible fuel. Care must be exercised to assure complete combustion to prevent the formation of phosgene. An acid scrubber is necessary to remove the halo acids produced.
