Air & Water Reactions

Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

The acidic organic salt (HBr) of the amine. Acidic salts are generally soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate concentrations of hydrogen ions and have pH's of less than 7.0. They react as acids to neutralize bases. These neutralizations generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by neutralization of inorganic acids, inorganic oxoacids, and carboxylic acid. They usually do not react as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not impossible. Many of these compounds catalyze organic reactions.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition 2-Bromoethylamine hydrobromide emits very toxic fumes of bromide ion, NOx and hydrogen bromide.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 2-Bromoethylamine hydrobromide are not available; however, 2-Bromoethylamine hydrobromide is probably combustible.
