P-MENTHANE Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties | colourless liquid |
Synthesis Reference(s) | Tetrahedron Letters, 28, p. 2507, 1987 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(00)95453-4 |
General Description | Clear liquid. |
Air & Water Reactions | Flammable. Insoluble in water. |
Reactivity Profile | Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as P-MENTHANE, may be incompatible with strong oxidizing agents like nit ric acid. Charring of the hydrocarbon may occur followed by ignition of unreacted hydrocarbon and other nearby combustibles. In other settings, aliphatic saturated hydrocarbons are mostly unreactive. They are not affected by aqueous solutions of acids, alkalis, most oxidizing agents, and most reducing agents. When heated sufficiently or when ignited in the presence of air, oxygen or strong oxidizing agents, they burn exothermically to produce carbon dioxide and water. |
Fire Hazard | Flash point data for P-MENTHANE are not available, however P-MENTHANE is probably combustible. |
