Highly Flammable

ISOPROPYLAMINE is a colorless, alkaline liquid, very volatile, moderately toxic, highly flammable. Dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, sparks, or strong oxidizers. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen [M. K.]. A mixture of isopropylamine and perchloryl fluoride resulted in an uncontrolled oxidation and/or explosion, [J. Org. Chem., 1980, 45, 4036]. The reaction of 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane and the amine and most probably other nitrogen bases, yields a violent exotherm, [Chem. & Ind., 1971, 994].

Excerpt from ERG Guide 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]: As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions. SPILL: Increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance shown above. FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 132 [Flammable Liquids - Corrosive]: Fully encapsulating, vapor-protective clothing should be worn for spills and leaks with no fire. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers (except for Hydrazine). Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. (ERG, 2016)

Skin: Wear appropriate personal protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Eyes: Wear appropriate eye protection to prevent eye contact. Wash skin: The worker should immediately wash the skin when it becomes contaminated. Remove: Work clothing that becomes wet should be immediately removed due to its flammability hazard(i.e. for liquids with flash point Change: No recommendation is made specifying the need for the worker to change clothing after the work shift. Provide: Eyewash fountains should be provided in areas where there is any possibility that workers could be exposed to the substance; this is irrespective of the recommendation involving the wearing of eye protection. Facilities for quickly drenching the body should be provided within the immediate work area for emergency use where there is a possibility of exposure. [Note: It is intended that these facilities provide a sufficient quantity or flow of water to quickly remove the substance from any body areas likely to be exposed. The actual determination of what constitutes an adequate quick drench facility depends on the specific circumstances. In certain instances, a deluge shower should be readily available, whereas in others, the availability of water from a sink or hose could be considered adequate.] (NIOSH, 2016)|Eye/face protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum).

This action promulgates standards of performance for equipment leaks of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI). The intended effect of these standards is to require all newly constructed, modified, and reconstructed SOCMI process units to use the best demonstrated system of continuous emission reduction for equipment leaks of VOC, considering costs, non air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements. Isopropylamine is produced, as an intermediate or a final product, by process units covered under this subpart.

SOIL: Isopropylamine was detected in a mixture of soils from the Chuvash Autonomous Socialist Republic (Moscow) which contain chernozem, sandy, sandy loam, alluvial, dark grey forest and acid grey soils on unknown dates at unknown concentrations(1).

Isopropylamine has been identified as a constituent of tobacco, tobacco smoke, and tobacco substitute smoke(1).

Toxicity

moderately

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Isopropylamine is a colorless liquid (a gas above 91 degrees F). It is used as a solvent, intermediate in synthesis of rubber accelerators, pharmaceuticals, dyes, insecticides, bactericides, textile specialties, and surface-active agents, dehairing agent, solubilizer for 2,4-D acid. HUMAN STUDIES: Complaints of nose and throat irritation were reported by volunteer subjects after brief exposures at 10 to 20 ppm. Workers complained of transient visual disturbances (halos around lights) after exposure to the vapor for 8 hours, probably resulting from mild corneal edema, which usually cleared in 3 to 4 hours. ANIMAL STUDIES: A 4-hour exposure of 10,000 mg/cu m (4000 ppm) to 6 rats was not lethal, while all 6 rats died from exposure to 20,000 mg/cu m (8000 ppm). Exposure to a saturated vapor caused the death of all rats within 2 minutes. Isopropylamine produced a severe burn from application of 0.5 mL of a 1% solution. Instillation of 0.005 mL of undiluted compound resulted in severe corneal opacity while 0.5 mL of a 1% solution in water caused severe corneal opacity and iritis. In mice, isopropylamine is essentially an upper respiratory tract-irritating compound. In a one generation reproduction study rats were exposed to isopropylamine at analytical concentrations of 20, 100 or 499 mg/cu m for 6 hr per day (5 days/week) by inhalation (whole body exposure). Clinical signs included incidental fur discoloration and focal hair loss. There were no significant differences in mating and fertility parameters, number of corpora lutea, implantations and resorptions. The was a reduction in mean body weight gain in males in the high dose group. Negative results were reported in bacterial reverse mutation tests for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium (strains included TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) with and without metabolic activation. The highest non-toxic dose tested was 3333 mg/plate.

/While/ methyl and ethylamine in combination with nitrite were significantly mutagenic, the Escherichia coli mutagenicity test of carcinogenic isopropylamine in combination with nitrite did not yield a detectable increase in mutation frequency over that due to nitrite alone.

Isopropylamine has been detected in tobacco leaf(1). Decomposing animal manure has also been shown to release isopropylamine to the environment(2).

Isopropylamine's production and use as a solvent, intermediate in synthesis of rubber accelerators, pharmaceuticals, dyes, insecticides, bactericides, textile specialities, and surface-active agents, dehairing agent, as a solubilizer for 2,4-D acid(1), and flavoring agent(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). Isopropylamine has been identified as a constituent of tobacco, tobacco smoke, and tobacco substitute smoke(3).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 11(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.26(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that isopropylamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). However, the pKa of isopropylamine is 10.6(4), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). Volatilization of isopropylamine from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process because this compound exists almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and cations do not volatilize. Isopropylamine is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 580 mm Hg at 25 °C(6). A 70-80% of theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Manometric Respirometry test(7) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 11(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 0.26(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that isopropylamine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 10.6(4) indicates isopropylamine will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3.2(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A 70-80% of theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Manometric Respirometry test(6) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), isopropylamine, which has a vapor pressure of 580 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase isopropylamine is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 3.3 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 3.9X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Isopropylamine does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of isopropylamine with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 3.9X10-13 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 3.3 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). Isopropylamine is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(2). Isopropylamine does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 3.2 was calculated in fish for isopropylamine(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.26(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Koc of isopropylamine is estimated as 11(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.26(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that isopropylamine is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The pKa of isopropylamine is 10.6(4), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).

A pKa of 10.6(1) indicates that isopropylamine will exist almost entirely in the cation form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. The potential for volatilization of isopropylamine from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 580 mm Hg(2).

SURFACE WATER: Isopropylamine was detected at a concentration of 4.2 ug/L in samples from the River Elbe, Germany; collection date not specified(1).

Isopropylamine was detected as a volatile component in boiled beef on unknown dates at unknown concentrations(1). Isopropylamine was detected in a sample of maize grain on unknown dates at a concentration of 2.3 mg/kg(2). Isopropylamine is reported as an odor and/or flavor used in cereal, fruit, meat, cheese and diary(3).

According to the 2016 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, 3 reporting facilities estimate the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed during the manufacturing, processing, or use of isopropylamine in the United States may be as low as 500 workers and as high as 9,999 workers per plant; the data may be greatly underestimated due to confidential business information (CBI) or unknown values(1).|NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 8,134 workers (3,173 of these were female) were potentially exposed to isopropylamine in the US(1). Occupational exposure to isopropylamine may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where isopropylamine is produced or used. Monitoring data indicate that the general population may be exposed to isopropylamine via dermal contact with this compound or other consumer products containing isopropylamine(SRC).

Drug Information

Following a single intravenous injection of (14)C-isopropylamine HCl of 0.3 mg/kg bw into male Wistar rats, radioactivity was rapidly eliminated from the body via the urine with a half-life of about 2 to 4 hr. Following a single intraperitoneal injection of a similar dose, 97% of the radioactivity was excreted in the urine, all being identified as isopropylamine, 1.2% in the feces, and 1% in exhaled air. In in vitro experiments in which isopropylamine was incubated with rat liver microsomes in the presence of a NADPH-generating system, more than 94% was recovered as unchanged compound. /Isopropylamine HCl/|In mongrel dogs intravenously infused with isopropylamine (0.25 mg/kg/min, 45 min), an initial rapid and a subsequent slow decline in plasma levels with half life times of 5 and 146 min, respectively, were observed. These values indicate redistribution of isopropylamine into a tissue compartment followed by a slow release into and elimination from the blood. Examinations of tissues 2 hours post-infusion showed highest tissue/plasma ratios (ranging from approximately 5-17) for the kidneys (medulla, cortex), the spleen, the liver, the adrenal glands, and the lungs while significant amounts were found in sections of the brains (ratios of about 3-3.5) and the heart (ratios: ca. 2-3.5) (Pri82).|...

Inhalation causes nose and throat irritation, severe coughing, and chest pain due to irritation of air passages; can cause lung edema and loss of consciousness. Ingestion causes nausea, salivation and severe irritation of mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes causes severe irritation and possible edema of the cornea. Contact with skin causes severe irritation. (USCG, 1999)

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas. INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Corrosive chemicals will destroy the membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus and volatile chemicals have a high risk of being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting. Thus, the risk of increasing the medical problems by inducing vomiting of a volatile corrosive chemical is very high. If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)|(See procedures)

Isopropylamine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

There are two industrial methods for preparing isopropylamine: the isopropanol method and the acetone method. (1) The isopropanol method is obtained by the gas phase reaction of isopropanol, liquid ammonia and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. (CH3)2CHOH+NH4[H2]→[Catalyst](CH3)2CHNH2+H2O(CH3)2CHOH+(CH3)2CHNH2[H2]→[Catalyst](CH3)2CH]2NH+H2O Reaction temperature is 195℃, reaction pressure It is 1.7MPa, and the reaction is carried out with a porous nickel-aluminum catalyst activated by barium hydroxide. The product obtained by the reaction contains monoisopropylamine and diisopropylamine at the same time, and the ratio of monoisopropylamine and diisopropylamine in the product can be adjusted by changing the reaction conditions. (2) The acetone method is prepared by the amination of acetone, ammonia, and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. CH3COCH3+NH3+H2→(CH3)2CHNH2+H2OCH3COCH3+(CH3)2CHNH2+H2→[(CH3)2CH]2NH+H2O reaction temperature 150℃, reaction pressure 4.5MPa, general ratio is acetone: ammonia: hydrogen = 1: 2.5:10 (mol). Increasing the amount of ammonia is beneficial to the production of monoisopropylamine, and increasing the amount of acetone is beneficial to the production of diisopropylamine.
