?3-Chloro-1-propanol (CAS NO.627-30-5) is also named as 1-Chloro-3-hydroxypropane ; 3-Chloropropanol ; 3-Chlorpropan-1-ol ; 3-Chlorpropan-1-ol [German] ; 3-Choro-1-propanol ; 4-01-00-01441 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) ; AI3-61821 ; BRN 0773655 ; CCRIS 4767 ; NSC 60190 ; Trimethylene chlorohydrin .?3-Chloro-1-propanol (CAS NO.627-30-5) is colourless liquid with a mild odor.?It is?toxic by ingestion and inhalation .?3-Chloro-1-propanol is moderately soluble in water. It may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. 3-Chloro-1-propanol may react with oxidizing agents. Inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.?It may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form.
