| Specification: |
Isopropyl nitrate , with CAS number of 1712-64-7, can be called Isopropylester kyseliny dusicne ; nitric acid, 1-methylethyl ester ; propan-2-yl nitrate . It is a colourless liquid with a pleasant odor, Isopropyl nitrate (CAS NO.1712-64-7) ranges from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. Nitroalkanes are milder oxidizing agents, but still react violently with reducing agents at higher temperature and pressures. Nitroalkanes react with inorganic bases to form explosive salts. The presence of metal oxides increases the thermal sensitivity of nitroalkanes. Nitroalkanes with more than one nitro group are generally explosive. Contact with either strong oxidizers or with combustibles may cause fires and explosions. |
