It is an important fine chemical intermediate for synthetic pesticides, dyes, plastic antioxidants, polymerization inhibitors and perfumes.
Used as an analytical reagent and used in organic synthesis
Instructions of Use
1. In case of fire, high heat or oxidant can cause burning. It has weak acidity and reacts with sodium hydroxide to form soluble sodium salt, but does not react with sodium carbonate. The o-cresol sodium salt is reacted with an alkylating agent such as dimethyl sulfate to form a phenol ether. Reacting with an aldehyde to obtain a synthetic resin. Catalytic hydrogenation to form methylcyclohexanol. Under mild conditions, o-cresol can be nitrated, halogenated, alkylated and sulfonated. O-cresol is easily oxidized, and the color becomes darker when it comes into contact with light and air to form hydrazines and other complex compounds.
2. Toxic. Mainly acts on the central nervous system, and even death in severe cases. Cresol vapor or smoke can damage the skin and cause chronic nephritis and neurological disorders when inhaled. The maximum allowable concentration in the workplace air is 5*10-6. Rat oral LD501350mg/kg. Production equipment should be sealed and operators should be equipped with protective equipment.
3. Stability: stable
4. Incompatible materials: strong oxidants, alkalis
5. Conditions to avoid contact: lighting
6. Polymerization hazard: no polymerization
Storage Precautions
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. The package is sealed and must not be in contact with air. It should be stored separately from oxidants, alkalis and food chemicals, and should not be mixed. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be provided with suitable materials to contain spills.
