2,6-DIISOPROPYLNAPHTHALENE Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties    beige crystalline platelets
General Description    Clear yellowish brown liquid with a faint sweet odor.
Air & Water Reactions    Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile    Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as 2,6-DIISOPROPYLNAPHTHALENE, 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. Friedel-Crafts acylation of naphthalene using benzoyl chloride, catalyzed by AlCl3, must be conducted above the melting point of the mixture, or the reaction may be violent [Clar, E. et al., Tetrahedron, 1974, 30, 3296].
Health Hazard    Exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat.
Fire Hazard    Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire.
