2-chloropyridine usage and synthesis
chemical properties clear colourless to light yellow liquid
usage 2-chloropyridine (2-cpy) has been identified as a trace organic chemical in process streams, wastewater and even drinking water. furthermore, it appears to be formed as a secondary pollutant during t he decomposition of specific insecticides.
general description a colorless oily liquid. toxic by ingestion and/or skin absorption. used to make other chemicals.
air & water reactions slightly soluble in water and denser than water.
fire hazard combustible material: 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.
