PHOSGENE

EINECS 200-870-3
CAS No. 75-44-5 Density 1.523 g/cm3
PSA 17.07000 LogP 1.58400
Solubility decomposes Melting Point -118 C
Formula CCl2 O Boiling Point 8.2 °C at 760 mmHg
Molecular Weight 98.9164 Flash Point 4°C
Transport Information UN 3384 Appearance colourless gas
Safety A human poison by inhalation. A severe eye, skin, and mucous membrane irritant. In the presence of moisture, phosgene decomposes to form hydrochloric acid and carbon monoxide. This occurs in the bronchioles and alveoli of the lungs, resulting in pulmonary edema followed by bronchopneumonia and occasionally lung abscess. There is little immediate irritating effect upon the respiratory tract, and the warning properties of the gas are therefore very slight. There may be no immediate warning that dangerous concentrations are being inhaled. After a latent period of 2 to 24 hours, the patient complains of burning in the throat and chest, shortness of breath, and increasing dyspnea. Where the exposure has been severe, the development of pulmonary edema may be so rapid that the patient dies within 36 hours after exposure. In cases where the exposure has been less, pneumonia may develop several days after the occurrence of the accident. In patients who recover, no permanent residual disability is thought to occur. A common air contaminant.

Under the appropriate conditions it undergoes hazardous reactions with Al, tert-butyl azido formate, 2,4-hexadiyn-1,6-diol, isopropyl alcohol, K, Na, sodium azide, hexafluoroisopropylideneamino lithium, lithium. When heated to decomposition or on contact with water or steam it will react to produce toxic and corrosive fumes of CO and Cl. Caution: Arrangements should be made for monitoring its use.

PHOSGENE History

In 1812, Phosgene(75-44-5) was synthesized by the chemist John Davy (1790-1868) by exposing a mixture of carbon monoxide and chlorine to sunlight. He named it in reference to use of light to promote the reaction; from Greek, phos (light) and gene (born). It gradually became important in the chemical industry as the 19th century progressed, particularly in dye manufacturing.

PHOSGENE Uses

Uses of phosgene(75-44-5) include the manufacture of toluene diisocyanate, methylone diisocyanate, and polycarbonate resins.

PHOSGENE Production

Phosgene(75-44-5) is manufactured by reacting chlorine gas and carbon monoxide in the presence of activated carbon.
              CO + Cl2 → O=CCl2
