A poison. Moderately
toxic by ingestion. Mildly toxic by skin
contact. Mutation data reported. Mixtures
with magnesium are hypergolic on contact
with nitric acid. Forms extremely explosive
addltion compounds with hexanitroethane.
Vigorous reaction with sulfuric acid above
200°C. When heated to decomposition it
emits toxic fumes of NOx. See also m-

| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Orange solid with a musty odor. Sinks and mixes slowly with water. | [Reactivity Profile]
O-NITROANILINE(88-74-4) may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. Mixtures of this chemical with magnesium are hypergolic on contact with nitric acid. O-NITROANILINE(88-74-4) forms extremely explosive addition compounds with hexanitroethane. O-NITROANILINE(88-74-4) has a vigorous reaction with sulfuric acid above 392° F. O-NITROANILINE(88-74-4) is incompatible with acids, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, chloroformates and strong oxidizers. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Insoluble in water. | [Hazard]
Explosion risk. Toxic when absorbed by
skin. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation or ingestion causes headache, nausea, methemo-globinemia, vomiting, weakness, and stupor; cyanosis caused by contact usually develops in 4-6 hrs.; prolonged and excessive exposure may also cause liver damage. Contact with eyes or skin causes irritation; continued exposure may cause same symptoms as inhalation or ingestion. | [Fire Hazard]
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fire. | [Chemical Properties]

Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. 1, p. 388, 1941 | [Environmental Fate]
Biological. Under aerobic and anaerobic conditions using a sewage inoculum, 2-nitroaniline
degraded to 2-methylbenzimidazole and 2-nitroacetanilide (Hallas and Alexander, 1983). A
Pseudomonas sp. strain P6, isolated from a Matapeake silt loam, did not grow on 2-nitroaniline as
the sole source of carbon. However, in the presence of 4-nitroaniline, approximately 50% of the
applied 2-nitroaniline metabolized to nonvolatile products which could not be identified by HPLC
(Zeyer and Kearney, 1983). In activated sludge inoculum, following a 20-d adaptation period, no
degradation was observed (Pitter, 1976).
Plant. 2-Nitroaniline was degraded by tomato cell suspension cultures (Lycopericon
lycopersicum). Transformation products identified were 2-nitroanilino-β-D-glucopyranoside, β-(2-
amino-3-nitrophenyl)glucopyranoside, and β-(4-amino-3-nitrophenyl)-glucopyranoside (Pogány et
al., 1990). | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise the aniline from hot water (charcoal), then from aqueous 50% EtOH, or EtOH, and dry it in a vacuum desiccator. It has also been chromatographed on alumina, then recrystallised from *benzene. [Beilstein 12 IV 1563.] |
