Reactivity Profile

ISOPROPYL PHENYLACETATE is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: ISOPROPYL PHENYLACETATE does not present a serious hazard in normal use. However, it should be borne in mind that the toxicological and physiological properties are not yet well defined.

Fire Hazard

ISOPROPYL PHENYLACETATE is combustible.
