General Description
A colorless liquid with a mild odor. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. (USCG, 1999)

Hazards

Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Fire Hazard
No information available.
Health Hazard
Ingestion may cause intestinal disturbances. Contact with eyes causes mild irritation. (USCG, 1999)
Reactivity Profile
Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact with strong oxidizing agents. 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. May attack some forms of plastics (USCG, 1999).
Belongs to the Following Reactive Group(s)
