371-62-0 Usage
Chemical Properties
Ethylene fluorohydrin is a colorless liquid
Uses
2-Fluoroethanol, is used in the microwave spectra of two isotopic species of 2-fluoroethanol have been investigated. The Gg conformer of 2-fluoroethanol is isolated in low-temperature noble gas matrices. Single-photon IR photolysis of 2-fluoroethanol in solid argon has been investigated.
General Description
A liquid. Used as a rodenticide, insecticide and acaricide. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S.
Reactivity Profile
2-Fluoroethanol generates very toxic fumes of fluoride that will be emitted in a fire. [EPA, 1998].
Health Hazard
Toxicity rating is the same as for fluoroacetate, super toxic. The probable oral lethal dose in humans is a taste (less than 7 drops) for a 70 kg (150 lb.) person. The chemical is highly toxic when inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Toxicity depends on its oxidation to fluoroacetate by tissue alcohol dehydrogenase.
Fire Hazard
Very toxic fumes of fluoride may be emitted in a fire.
Safety Profile
Poison by inhalation,
intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, and
intravenous routes. When heated to
decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of
F-.
Potential Exposure
Ethylene fluorohydrin is used as a
rodenticide, insecticide, and acaricide. It is not registered as
a pesticide in the U.S.
Shipping
UN3383 Poisonous Toxic by inhalation liquid,
flammable, n.o.s. with an LC50 ≤ 200 ml/m3 and saturated
vapor concentration ≤ 500 LC50, Hazard class: 6.1; Labels:
6.1-Poisonous materials, 3-Flammable liquid, Technical
Name Required, Inhalation Hazard Zone A
Incompatibilities
Ethylene fluorohydrin vapor may form
explosive mixture with air. Incompatible with oxidizers
(chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates,
chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires
or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong
bases, strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides.
Waste Disposal
In accordance with 40CFR
165 recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and
pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or
federal environmental control agency, or by contacting
your regional EPA office
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 371-62-0 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 3,7 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 371-62:
(5*3)+(4*7)+(3*1)+(2*6)+(1*2)=60
60 % 10 = 0
So 371-62-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Hydrogen bonding between solutes in solvents octan-1-ol and water
Abraham, Michael H.,Gola, Joelle M. R.,Cometto-Muniz, J. Enrique,Acree, William E.
experimental part, p. 7651 - 7658 (2011/02/25)
The 1:1 equilibrium constants, K, for the association of hydrogen bond bases and hydrogen bond acids have been determined by using octan-1-ol solvent at 298 K for 30 acid-base combinations. The values of K are much smaller than those found for aprotic, rather nonpolar solvents. It is shown that the log K values can satisfactorily be correlated against αH 2?βH2, where αH 2 and βH2 are the 1:1 hydrogen bond acidities and basicities of solutes. The slope of the plot, 2.938, is much smaller than those for log K values in the nonpolar organic solvents previously studied. An analysis of literature data on 1:1 hydrogen bonding in water yields a negative slope for a plot of log K against αH 2?βH2, thus showing how the use of very strong hydrogen bond acids and bases does not lead to larger values of log K for 1:1 hydrogen bonding in water. It is suggested that for simple 1:1 association between monofunctional solutes in water, log K cannot be larger than about -0.1 log units. Descriptors have been obtained for the complex between 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and propanone, and used to analyze solvent effects on the two reactants, the complex, and the complexation constant.
Predominant role of basicity of leaving group in α-effect for nucleophilic ester cleavage

, p. 26 - 37 (2007/10/03)
It has been found that α-effects in nucleophilic reactions, unexpectedly large nucleophilicity due to adjacent unpaired electrons, are strongly dependent on the structure of substrate. The nucleophilic cleavages of 4-nitrobenzoate esters and 4-methylbenzo
