A solution of 2,3-dibromo-5-methoxyaniline (32 g, 0.17 mol) in CHjClj (300 ml) was stirred and cooled in an icc bath. Boron trichloride (1 M in CH2CI2, 180 ml, 0.18 mol), chloroacetonitrile (14.3 g, 0.19 mol) and TiC (1 M in CH CIj, 190ml, 0.19 mol) were added. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 1.5 h. The solution was cooled to room temperature and poured carefully on to a mixture of icc and 20% aq. HCl (700 ml). The organic layer was separated and the CH Clj removed by distillation. The residue was heated to 90°C on a water bath for 30 min. The solution was cooled and the solid collected by filtration. It was partitioned between ether (1.41) and 1 N NaOH (500 ml). The ether layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2S04 and evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give 2-amino-3,4-dibromo-6-methoxy-a-chloroacetophenone (55 g) in 90% yield. 

Ethyl indole-2-carboxylate (45.2 g, 0.238 mmol) was dissolved in abs. EtOH (450 ml) in a 11 polyethylene container and cooled in a dry icc-cthanol bath. The solution was saturated with dry HCl gas until the volume increased to 875 ml, Granular tin metal (84.2g, 0.7l0mmol) was added to the slurry and... 

Commercial acetaldehyde has the following typical specifications assay, 99% min color, water-white acidity, 0.5% max (acetic acid) specific gravity, 0.790 at 20°C bp, 20.8°C at 101.3 kPa (1 atm). It is shipped in steel dmms and tank cars bearing the ICC red label. In the Hquid state, it is noncorrosive to most metals however, acetaldehyde oxidizes readily, particularly in the vapor state, to acetic acid. Precautions to be observed in the handling of acetaldehyde have been pubHshed (103).

The ICC classifies all three pentanes as flammable Hquids and requires that they be affixed with a red label for shipping. Because of their high vapor pressures, n- and isopentane are transported in heavy-walled dmms and neo-pentanes are transported in cylinders (see Packaging containers and INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS). 

Hexane is classified as a flammable liquid by the ICC, and normal handling precautions for this type of material should be observed. According to the ACGIH, the maximum concentration of hexane vapor in air to which a worker may be exposed without danger of adverse health effects is 125 ppm benzene is rated at 10 ppm. 

The ICC classifies hydrogen as a flammable gas and requires that it carry a red label. Data on storage is available (203). The production and Handling of flammable gases andHquefied flammable gases is regulated by OSHA (204).

With respect to the hazards of fire and explosion, nitrobenzene is classified as a moderate hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Nitrobenzene is classified by the ICC as a Class-B poisonous Hquid. 

Health nd Safety Factors. The mononitrochlorobenzenes are toxic substances which may be absorbed through the skin and lungs giving rise to methemoglobin. Their toxicity is about the same as or greater than that of nitrobenzene. The para isomer is less toxic than the ortho isomer, and the maximum allowable concentration that has been adopted for -nitrochlorobenzene is 1 mg/m (0.1 ppm) (6). The mononitrochlorobenzenes are moderate fire hazards when exposed to heat or flame. They ate classified by the ICC as Class-B poisons. The same handling precautions should be used for these compounds as are used for nitrobenzene.

Uncertainty in last digit or digits is shown in parentheses. ICC = internal conversion coefficient. 

The iatensity of a conversion fine can be expressed relative to that of the associated y-ray as the internal-conversion coefficient (ICC), denoted as d. For example, is the ratio of the number of electrons emitted from the K atomic shell to the number of photons emitted. For the other atomic levels, the corresponding conversion coefficients are denoted by (X, The total conversion coefficient is a = n, where the sum iacludes all atomic... 

Dimethyl and diethyl sulfate are available in a vahety of containers from 0.5-kg glass botdes to tank cars. Diethyl sulfate is somewhat less toxic than dimethyl sulfate and is considered noncorrosive, but dimethyl sulfate is classified as a corrosive Hquid and ICC regulations must be observed. Mild steel to 306 stainless steel is used for large-volume storage. Dimethyl sulfate is manufactured by E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc., and diethyl sulfate by Union Carbide Corporation. Other producers are Rhc ne-Poulenc and Hoechst-Celanese. 

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.

Before the creation of the U.S. DOT in 1967, the now defunct ICC was authorized to prescribe rules and regulations for rad, tmck, and pipeline safety. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was responsible for air safety, and the U.S. Coast Guard for safety on the inland and coastal waterways. Upon estabHshment of DOT in 1967, the FAA and Coast Guard were transferred to the DOT, which assumed the safety functions the ICC formerly adrninistered.
