Propane flash point

The substitution of one hydroxyl radical for a hydrogen atom in propane produces propyl alcohol, or propanol, which has several uses. Its molecular formula is C3H7OH. Propyl alcohol has a flash point of 77°F and, like all the alcohols, bums with a pale blue flame. More commonly known is the isomer of propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol. Since it is an isomer, it has the same molecular formula as propyl alcohol but a different structural formula. Isopropyl alcohol has a flash point of 53 F. Its ignition temperamre is 850°F, while propyl alcohol s ignition temperature is 700 F, another effect of the different stmcture. Isopropyl alcohol, or 2-propanol (its proper name) is used in the manufacture of many different chemicals, but is best known as rubbing alcohol. [Pg.198]

Anon., Sichere Chemiearbeit, 1992, 44(6), 70 Jahresbericht, 1991, 72 A substantial explosion, followed by a fire causing fatal bums to the experimenter, occurred when working with butyllithium in tetrahydrofuran cooled by a propan-2-ol/solid carbon dioxide freezing bath. It was considered that the explosion might have been fueled by isopropanol vapour in air. This explanation was rejected since the alcohol should have been below its flash point. However, making up such cooling baths, containing flammable solvents, does disperse considerable quantities of vapour and mist before the mix is fully cooled. There is a period of potential hazard, as there may be when the bath warms above the flash point once more. [Pg.98]
