| | 2-Methylphenanthrene Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | 2-Methylphenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutant from polystyrene plastic. | | General Description | White crystalline solid. | | Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as 2-METHYLPHENANTHRENE, and strong oxidizing agents. They can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds. Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction. 2-METHYLPHENANTHRENE may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. | | Fire Hazard | Flash point data for 2-METHYLPHENANTHRENE are not available. 2-METHYLPHENANTHRENE is probably combustible. |
