2-Chloro-5-nitrotoluene CAS 13290-74-9

1. 2-Chloro-5-nitrotoluene is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals.
2. 2-Chloro-5-nitrotoluene CAS 13290-74-9 serves as a key building block for agrochemicals and other chloro- and nitro-substituted aromatic compounds.
3. This compound is also utilized in organic research for the preparation of more complex heterocycles and fine chemicals.

1. Store 2-chloro-5-nitrotoluene in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat, sparks, open flames, and combustible materials.
2. Keep the container tightly closed and separated from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, reducing agents, and metals.
3. Handle 2-Chloro-5-nitrotoluene CAS 13290-74-9 with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Use a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors.

1. Isolate the spill area, restrict access, ensure ventilation, and wear full protective gear (gloves, goggles, protective clothing, respirator suitable for dust/vapors).
2. **Do not sweep.** Carefully collect 2-Chloro-5-nitrotoluene CAS 13290-74-9 with a damp cloth or vacuum with a HEPA filter. For liquid, use inert absorbent. Place all waste in a sealed hazardous waste container.
3. Prevent the material from entering drains or the environment. Decontaminate surfaces with water and detergent. Contaminated absorbents may present a fire risk.

1. 2-Chloro-5-nitrotoluene is harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin. It causes skin and eye irritation and may cause respiratory damage.
2. 2-Chloro-5-nitrotoluene CAS 13290-74-9is a combustible solid and may explode if heated under confinement.Nitro compounds can be shock-sensitive. It may emit highly toxic fumes (hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide) when heated.
3. Always consult the official 2-chloro-5-nitrotoluene Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the most current and comprehensive hazard, handling, and regulatory information, as it presents multiple severe hazards (toxic, potentially explosive).
