Specification
The 2,2-Dimethylpropanol , its cas register number is 75-84-3, is also called Neopentyl alcohol ; 2,2-Dimethyl-1-propanol . Its IUPAC name is 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol . And its systematic name is also named as 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol with the structure description of SMILES of OCC(C)(C)C. 2,2-Dimethylpropanol is not compatible with strong oxidizing agents. And it should avoid the condition of incompatible materials, ignition sources. And its hazardous decomposition products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. While, its hazardous polymerization has not been reported.
The physical properties of 2,2-Dimethylpropanol are: (1) H bond acceptors: 1; (2) H bond donors: 1; (3) Freely Rotating Bonds: 2; (4) Index of Refraction: 1.406; (5) Molar Refractivity: 26.71 cm3; (6) Molar Volume: 108.6 cm3; (7) Surface Tension: 25 dyne/cm; (8) Enthalpy of Vaporization: 40.98 kJ/mol; (9) Vapour Pressure: 10.8 mmHg at 25°C. This compound is highly flammable. So keep it in a well-ventilated place away from sources of ignition and keep container tightly closed. 2,2-Dimethylpropanol Irritates to eyes and respiratory system.
