Potential Health Effects: Eye burns, skin blistering, throat and lung irritation, systemic toxicity on ingestion or high-level inhalation
Emergency Overview: Strongly corrosive liquid with pungent odor, dangerous fumes when exposed to water or humidity
Chemical Name: 5-Bromovaleryl Chloride
CAS Number: 4072-59-9
Concentration: ≥97%
Impurities: Possible trace of HCl, brominated byproducts (information from supplier may vary)
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air at once, administer oxygen if breathing feels difficult, call for medical attention
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse affected skin with copious water for at least 15 minutes, do not attempt to neutralize with chemicals, seek medical evaluation
Eye Contact: Immediately rinse with gentle running water for 15 minutes lifting eyelids, call an ophthalmologist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, never induce vomiting, consult poison control, obtain immediate medical attention
Advice for Physicians: Treat symptomatically, consider possible delayed respiratory tract damage, monitor for chemical pneumonitis
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, do not use water as product hydrolyzes forming corrosive vapors
Specific Hazards: Generates hydrogen chloride and bromine vapors on combustion or contact with moisture, risk of inhalation of toxic fumes
Protective Equipment: Wear full protective gear, self-contained breathing apparatus
Other Information: Prevent runoff from entering drains, keep containers cool by spraying with water mist from a safe distance (do not make direct contact)
Personal Precautions: Ventilate area, vacate non-essential personnel, wear goggles, chemical resistant gloves, and long sleeves
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from reaching sewers, waterways, or soil, contain spill
Cleanup Methods: Use chemically inert absorbent material (vermiculite, sand), place in chemical waste container, neutralize residues carefully, ventilate and decontaminate area after pickup
Additional Measures: Dispose at facility licensed to handle halogenated organics, immediately report large spills to local authorities
Handling: Use fume hood, avoid all inhalation, ingestion, and skin exposure, transfer with specially designed glassware or equipment, ground and bond containers when dispensing
Storage: Keep container tightly sealed in dry, cool, well-ventilated space, store separately from bases, strong oxidizers, water, and alcohols, maintain isolated from any fire risk
Other Precautions: Segregate from acids, strong reducing agents, keep away from incompatible materials listed in section ten
Workplace Exposure Limits: No official exposure limit established; treat as potent irritant and toxicant
Engineering Controls: Laboratory chemical fume hood required, use process enclosures, local exhaust if outside laboratory
Personal Protection: Chemical resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), lab apron, splash shield, safety goggles, face shield if splashing risk, always avoid contact lens use during handling
Respiratory Protection: Organic vapor respirator if engineering controls are not adequate, required for large-scale handling or cleanup
Appearance: Clear to yellowish oily liquid
Odor: Sharp, pungent, strong acid/chlorine
pH: Not measurable in pure form; hydrolyzes in water producing acidic solution
Melting Point: Below 0°C (may not freeze at ambient conditions)
Boiling Point: Approximately 91°C at reduced pressure, decomposes before boiling at atmospheric pressure
Flash Point: None reported; keep away from open flame
Vapor Pressure: Higher at room temperature, vapors may irritate eyes and respiratory tract
Solubility: Reacts violently with water, soluble in organic solvents like ethers and chlorinated hydrocarbons
Density: 1.59 g/cm³ at 20°C
Other Data: Rapidly decomposes when exposed to humid air
Chemical Stability: Unstable in presence of moisture, decomposes on contact with air, especially in humid conditions
Reactivity: Violent reaction with water generating hydrogen chloride, reacts with bases, amines, strong oxidizers, alcohols
Hazardous Decomposition: Hydrogen chloride, bromine vapors, possible carbon oxides unless carefully controlled
Polymerization: Not reported to undergo hazardous polymerization
Other Notes: Store under dry inert gas (nitrogen or argon) for best shelf life
Likely Exposure Routes: Inhalation, skin and eye contact, ingestion
Acute Effects: Severe irritation to eyes, skin, and mucous membranes; chemical burns possible
Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure can cause persistent dermatitis, sensitization, respiratory damage
Oral LD50 (estimated, rat): Data not definite; expect low mg/kg range for corrosive effects
Inhalation Risks: Pulmonary edema, bronchospasm, severe pharyngitis after acute exposure
Skin Sensitization: Corrosive, not a primary sensitizer but repeated contact raises risk of chronic dermatitis
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity, Teratogenicity: Not adequately studied for this compound; handle as though risks exist
Environmental Fate: Rapid hydrolysis in water forms free acid and brominated byproducts
Aquatic Toxicity: Likely acute toxicity to aquatic organisms due to acidification and halogenation
Mobility in Soil: Expected to contaminate local soil/water environment if released, forms stable chloride ions and organic residues
Degradability: Breaks down quickly in moist conditions; brominated organic residues may be persistent
Bioaccumulation: No data, but halogenated organics known for possible persistence in marine or aquatic species
Other Hazards: Treatment facilities may require special procedures to handle wastes containing this substance
Disposal Methods: Burn in chemical incinerator equipped with afterburner and scrubber, or deliver to licensed chemical waste handler
Waste Code: F-list halogenated organics (use local hazardous chemical registry codes)
Contaminated Packaging: Wash thoroughly before reuse or destruction, incinerate if highly contaminated
Special Considerations: Never dispose in drains, ensure full neutralization of residues before handling by sanitation personnel
