VINYL PYRIDINE, STABILIZED contains additives to prevent unwanted rapid polymerization. May nevertheless polymerize exothermically if subjected to heat for prolonged periods or if contaminated. If polymerization takes place inside a closed container, the container may violently rupture. The liquid may polymerize upon contact with peroxides and with compounds partially peroxidized by exposure to the air [Bretherick 1979 p. 160]. Reacts with oxidizing agents [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980 p. 960]. Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. Incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 131P [Flammable Liquids - Toxic]: CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or alcohol-resistant foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. (ERG, 2016)|Use powder, AFFF, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 131P [Flammable Liquids - Toxic]: 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 131P [Flammable Liquids - Toxic]: 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. SMALL SPILL: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal. 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)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 131P [Flammable Liquids - Toxic]: Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Wear chemical protective clothing that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. It may provide little or no thermal protection. Structural firefighters' protective clothing provides limited protection in fire situations ONLY; it is not effective in spill situations where direct contact with the substance is possible. (ERG, 2016)|Depending on the extent of possible contact, workers should be provided with personal protective equipment.

BE ENCLOSED & FITTED WITH LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION.|SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.|ACUTE TOXICITY INFORMATION ON ANIMALS & EXPERIENCE WITH INTERMITTENT EXPOSURES IN MAN SHOW THAT MORE THAN ORDINARY CARE IS NEEDED TO AVOID SKIN CONTACT & INHALATION.|SRP: Contaminated protective clothing should be segregated in such a manner so that there is no direct personal contact by personnel who handle, dispose, or clean the clothing. Quality assurance to ascertain the completeness of the cleaning procedures should be implemented before the decontaminated protective clothing is returned for reuse by the workers. Contaminated clothing should not be taken home at end of shift, but should remain at employee's place of work for cleaning.

2-Vinylpyridine's production and use as a monomer for polyvinylpyridine polymers used as tire-cord binders(1), in synthetic rubbers, photographic film, ion exchange resins as well as in pharmaceuticals(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 160(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.54(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-vinylpyridine is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC). 2-Vinylpyridine has a pKa of 4.98(6), which indicates that this compound will partially exist in the protonated form in moist acidic soils, and cations adsorb more strongly to soils than neutral molecules. Therefore, the mobility of 2-vinylpyridine is expected to be much lower in acidic soils than in neutral or alkaline soil(SRC). Volatilization of the neutral species of 2-vinylpyridine from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.6X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(4), however, the protonated form will not volatilize(SRC). The potential for volatilization of 2-vinylpyridine from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 2.6 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(5). Biodegradation of 2-vinylpyridine in soil is not expected to be a major fate process based on a single aerobic screening test showing that 2-vinylpyridine was not biodegraded over a 4-week period(2).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 160(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.54(2)and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-vinylpyridine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.6X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 10 and 80 days, respectively(SRC). The pKa of 2-vinylpyridine is 4.98(7), indicating this compound will partially exist in the ionized form in acidic waters and cations do not volatilize(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), a estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(6), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation of 2-vinylpyridine in water is not expected to be a major fate process based on a single aerobic screening test showing that 2-vinylpyridine was not biodegraded over a 4 week period(2).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2-vinylpyridine, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 2.6 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-vinylpyridine 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 6.8 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.67X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). Vapor-phase 2-vinylpyridine is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 13 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 2.1X10-17 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC), determined using a structure estimation method(3).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 2-vinylpyridine with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been measured as 5.67X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 6.8 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of 2-vinylpyridine with ozone has been estimated as 2.1X10-17 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(2). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 13 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 7X10+11 ozone molecules per cu cm(3). 2-Vinylpyridine is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups(4). Data are not available to assess this compound's potential for direct photolysis. A pKa of 4.98(5) indicates 2-vinylpyridine will partially exist in the protonated form in acidic waters and soils.

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for 2-vinylpyridine(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.54(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Koc of 2-vinylpyridine is estimated as 160(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 1.54(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-vinylpyridine is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. The pKa of 2-vinylpyridine is 4.98(4), which indicates that this compound will partially exist in the protonated form under acidic conditions. Cations adsorb more strongly to soil surfaces than neutral molecules thus adsorption of 2-vinylpyridine is expected to be greater in acidic soils(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for 2-vinylpyridine is estimated as 3.6X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 2-vinylpyridine is expected to volatilize from water surfaces(2). Based on this Henry's Law constant, the volatilization half-life from a model river (1 m deep, flowing 1 m/sec, wind velocity of 3 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 10 hours(SRC). The volatilization half-life from a model lake (1 m deep, flowing 0.05 m/sec, wind velocity of 0.5 m/sec)(2) is estimated as 80 days(SRC). 2-Vinylpyridine's Henry's Law constant(1) indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces may occur(SRC). However, 2-vinylpyridine is a weak base with a pKa of 4.98(4), which indicates this compound will partially exist in the protonated form in acidic conditions; cations do not volatilize from either moist soil or water surfaces. The potential for volatilization of 2-vinylpyridine from dry soil surfaces may exist(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 2.6 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3).

The most probable human exposure to 2-vinylpyridine would be occupational exposure, which may occur through dermal contact or inhalation at places where it is produced or used. Non-occupational exposures are likely to occur from the passive and active inhalation of cigarette smoke(1).

Vinylpyridine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Alpha-picoline + formaldehyde (condensation/dehydration)|...manufactured by treatment of 2-methylpyridine with aqueous formaldehyde, followed by dehydration of the resulting intermediate alcohol. The reaction is carried out at 150 to 200 °C in an autoclave. After removal of unreacted 2-methylpyridine by distillation, concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide is added to the residue and the resultant mixture is distilled under reduced pressure. During distillation, the dehydration of 2-(2-pyridyl)ethanol occurs to give 2-vinylpyridine as a distillate, which can be purified further by fractional distillation under reduced pressure in the presence of an inhibitor such as 4-tert-butylcatecohol.
