Phenol (CAS NO.108-95-2) is also named as AI3-01814 ; Acide carbolique ; Acide carbolique [French] ; Baker's P & S liquid & Ointment ; Baker's P and S Liquid and Ointment ; Benzenol ; CCRIS 504 ; Carbolic acid ; Carbolsaure ; Carbolsaure [German] ; Caswell No. 649 ; EPA Pesticide Chemical Code 064001 ; FEMA No. 3223 ; Fenol ; Fenol [Dutch, Polish] ; Fenolo ; Fenolo [Italian] ; HSDB 113 ; Hydroxybenzene ; Izal ; Monohydroxybenzene ; Monophenol ; NCI-C50124 ; NSC 36808 ; Oxybenzene ; Paoscle ; PhOH ; Phenic acid ; Phenyl alcohol ; Fenol [Dutch, Polish] ; Fenolo ; Fenolo [Italian] ; Phenic acid ;UN 1671 (solid) ; UN 2312 (molten) ; UNII-339NCG44TV ; Un 2812 (solution) . It is white solid. It is colorless if pure, otherwise pink or red. It decomposes slowly in air. Mixtures of 9-10% phenol in air are explosive. It is a mildly acidic compound that requires careful handling. Reacts with strong oxidizing agents. Emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes when heated to decomposition. Reacts exothermically with bases. Undergoes, in the presence of aluminum chloride, potentially explosive reactions with nitromethane, butadiene, formaldehyde, peroxodisulfuric acid, peroxosulfuric acid, and sodium nitrite . Reacts violently with sodium nitrate in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. Ingestion of 1 gram has been lethal to humans. Lethal amounts may be absorbed through skin or inhaled. Industrial contact can cause chronic poisoning with kidney and liver damage. Persons affected with hepatic or kidney diseases are at a greater risk. |
