What is Isopropyl nitrate ?

Chemical properties

colourless liquid

The Uses of Isopropyl nitrate

Isopropyl nitrate is used as a diesel cetane improver.

The Uses of Isopropyl nitrate

Isopropyl nitrate is a monopropellant with large detonation length scale. This can increase the diagnostic resolution as a result of which it can be used as a substitute for nitromethane, to study homogenous liquid explosives. It can also be used in the synthesis of 1,2-dimethoxy-4-(nitromethyl)benzene, a nitro alkane derivative which can be converted to the corresponding carboxylic acid in a continuous flow reactor via Nef oxidation method.

What are the applications of Application

Isopropyl nitrate is a colorless liquid used in jet engines

General Description

A clear colorless liquid with a pleasant odor. Flash point 32 to 73°F. May spontaneously decompose and explode under prolonged exposure to fire or heat. Denser than water and insoluble in water. Vapors are heavier than air. Produces toxic oxides of nitrogen during combustion.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Organonitrates, such as Isopropyl nitrate , range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. Nitroalkanes are milder oxidizing agents, but still react violently with reducing agents at higher temperature and pressures. Nitroalkanes react with inorganic bases to form explosive salts. The presence of metal oxides increases the thermal sensitivity of nitroalkanes. Nitroalkanes with more than one nitro group are generally explosive. Contact with either strong oxidizers or with combustibles may cause fires and explosions.

Hazard

Oxidizing material, fire risk in contact with organic materials.

Health Hazard

May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin. Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

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.
