Normal precautions for chemicals of mild toxicity are appHcable to the safe handling and storage of commercial tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. Discoloration in storage rarely occurs if the proper precautions are observed prevention of exposure to air wiH prevent autoxidation. The Hst price of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (1997) is 1.15/lb.

The alkyls and aryls, R3AI (in monomer form), are colorless Hquids or low melting soHds easily oxidized and hydrolyzed when exposed to the atmosphere. Triethylalurninum (TEA), one of the most commercially important members of this family of chemicals, is so reactive it bursts into flame on contact with air, ie, it is pyrophoric, and it reacts violently with water. This behavior is typical and special techniques are necessary for the safe handling and use of organoalurninum compounds.

Syntheses of radioactive tracers involve all of the classical biochemical and synthetic chemical reactions used in the synthesis of nonradio active chemicals. There are, however, specialized techniques and considerations required for the safe handling of radioactive chemicals, strategic synthetic considerations in terms of their relatively high cost, and synthesis scale constraints governed by specific activity requirements. 

Tables 16 and 17 Hst tke analytical test methods for different properties of interest. The Manufacturing Chemists Association, Inc. (MCA) has pubUshed the Chemical Safety Data Sheet SD 63, which describes in detail procedures for safe handling of use of toluene (46). The Interstate Commerce Commission classifies toluene as a flammable Hquid. Accordingly, it must be packaged in authorized containers, and shipping must comply with ICC regulations. Properties related to safe handling are autoignition temperature, 536°C explosive limits, 1.27—7.0 vol % in air and flash point 4.4°C, closed cup.

Isocyanates. Isocyanates in general are toxic chemicals and require great care in handling. Oral ingestion of substantial quantities of isocyanates can be tolerated by the human body, but acute symptoms may develop from the inhalation of much smaller amounts. The inhalation of isocyanates presents a ha2ard for the people who work with them as weU as the people who Hve in the proximity of an isocyanate plant. Adequate control of exposure is necessary to achieve a safe working environment. The suppHers Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) have to be consulted for the most current information on the safe handling of isocyanates. 

Certain base adducts of borane, such as triethylamine borane [1722-26-5] (C2H )2N BH, dimethyl sulfide borane [13292-87-OJ, (CH2)2S BH, and tetrahydrofuran borane [14044-65-6] C HgO BH, are more easily and safely handled than B2H and are commercially available. These compounds find wide use as reducing agents and in hydroboration reactions (57). A wide variety of borane reducing agents and hydroborating agents is available from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Base displacement reactions can be used to convert one adduct to another. The relative stabiUties of BH adducts as a function of Group 15 and 16 donor atoms are P > N and S > O. This order has sparked controversy because the trend opposes the normal order estabUshed by BF. In the case of anionic nucleophiles, base displacement leads to ionic hydroborate adducts (eqs. 20,21).

This volume has been prepared as a reference source on the hazardous properties of industrial and consumer chemicals. It is designed to assist chemical handling specialists, emergency responders, and health and safety engineers and technicians in the safe handling and shipping practices of chemicals. 

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a detailed information bulletin prepared by the manufacturer or importer of a chemical tliat describes tlie physical and healtli hazards, routes of exposure, precautions for safe handling and use, emergency and first-aid procedures, and control measures. Infonnation on an MSDS aids in tlie selection of safe products and helps prepare employers and employees to respond effectively to daily exposure situations as well as to emergency situations. It is also a source of information for identifying chemical hazards.
