Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate

Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C23H38ClNO2 and CAS number 143269-74-3. This substance is an ester derivative of benzoic acid, featuring a long hexadecyl chain, an amino group, and a chlorine substituent on the benzene ring. With a molecular weight of 396 g/mol, it belongs to the class of substituted benzoates and is classified as having chronic aquatic toxicity (Aquatic Chronic 2).

Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate has a molecular weight of 396 g/mol and molecular formula C23H38ClNO2. Due to its long aliphatic chain and aromatic structure, it likely exists as a solid at room temperature with limited water solubility but good solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the amino group and chlorine substituent influences its polarity and reactivity. Specific physical properties such as melting point and density require analytical determination.

Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate is typically used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical applications. Its structure suggests potential use in the development of surfactants, emulsifiers, or as a building block for more complex molecules. The compound may also find applications in specialty chemical formulations where its unique combination of aromatic and aliphatic properties provides desired functionality. Specific industrial applications depend on the manufacturer's intended use and product specifications.

Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate should be handled with standard laboratory safety precautions including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, and lab coats. Work in well-ventilated areas or under fume hoods to avoid inhalation. Although no specific signal word is assigned, treat the substance with care due to its potential environmental impact (Aquatic Chronic 2). Avoid direct skin and eye contact, and wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the substance away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents and acids. Ensure storage areas are equipped with appropriate spill containment measures given its aquatic toxicity classification. Store according to local regulations and maintain proper labeling with hazard information including the GHS09 environmental pictogram.

In case of skin contact with hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate, immediately wash the affected area with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. For eye contact, rinse immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If inhaled, move the person to fresh air and seek medical advice if symptoms persist. In case of ingestion, do not induce vomiting and seek immediate medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.

Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate must be disposed of through authorized waste management companies specializing in chemical waste due to its environmental hazard classification (Aquatic Chronic 2, GHS09). Do not discharge into drains, waterways, or soil. Collect waste in appropriate containers and label clearly for hazardous waste disposal. Follow local and national regulations for chemical waste disposal, including any specific requirements for substances with aquatic toxicity. Consult your local environmental authority for specific disposal guidelines.

Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate is classified as ADR Class 9 (Miscellaneous dangerous substances), Packing Group III for transportation purposes. This classification requires appropriate packaging, labeling with Class 9 hazard labels, and compliance with ADR regulations for road transport within Europe. Use UN-approved packaging and ensure proper documentation including transport documents and emergency response information. The substance must be transported by qualified carriers familiar with dangerous goods regulations and environmental hazards.

Hexadecyl 3-amino-4-chlorobenzoate is subject to REACH regulation for registration and evaluation within the European Union, though it is not classified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC). The substance must comply with CLP regulation for classification and labeling, particularly regarding its Aquatic Chronic 2 classification and GHS09 pictogram requirements. Users must follow environmental protection regulations due to its aquatic toxicity. Import/export may require additional documentation depending on destination country regulations.
