Hazard Information

General Description

Colorless to dark brown liquid. Sweet burning taste.

Reactivity Profile

2-BROMOETHANOL(540-51-2) forms an azeotrope with water; hydrolysis of aqueous solutions is accelerated by heat, alkalis and acids.

Air & Water Reactions

Hygroscopic. Water soluble.

Hazard

Irritant to eyes and mucous membranes.

Fire Hazard

This compound is combustible.

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

2-Bromoethanol is used in selective reduction of nitroarenes (PcFe(II)/NaBH4/2-bromoethanol catalyst system).

Uses

Ethylene bromohydrin is not used much forany commercial purpose. The risk of expo sure to this compound arises when ethyleneoxide reacts with hydrobromic acid.

Health Hazard

The vapors of ethylene bromohydrin are anirritant to the eyes and mucous membranes.It is corrosive to the skin. Ingestion of thiscompound can produce moderate to severetoxic effects. The target organs are the CNS,gastrointestinal tract, and liver. The lethaldose in mice by the intraperitoneal route was80 mg/kg.
Ethylene bromohydrin manifested car cinogenicity in test animals. It caused tumorsin lungs and the gastrointestinal tract in micefrom intraperitoneal (150 mg/kg/8 weeks)and oral (43 mg/kg/80 weeks) dosages,respectively. It is a mutagen, positive to thehistidine reversion–Ames test.

Waste Disposal

Ethylene bromohydrin is mixed with a combustible solvent and burned in a chemicalincinerator.
