Chemical: Hydrazine, 1,2-diphenyl-

Hazard Traits - Carcinogenicity

The New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act requires public and private employers to provide information about hazardous substances at their workplaces. (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-1 et. seq.)

Flash point data for this chemical are not available; however, it is probably combustible. (NTP, 1992)

Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.

1,2-Diphenylhydrazine is a white solid. There is no information on what it smells like or whether it will burn. It does not dissolve easily in water, but when placed in water, it rapidly breaks down into other chemicals. These include the toxic chemicals benzidine and azobenzene. It does not evaporate easily but may be released to air when attached to dust particles. 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine is a man-made chemical that was used in the past to make benzidine which was used to make various fabric dyes. Benzidine dyes are no longer used in the United States, but may still be used in other countries. The only current use of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine in the United States is in the production of medicines to treat inflammation and a type of arthritis.

1,2-Diphenylhydrazine was used in the past to produce benzidine-based dyes. Currently, the only use for it in the United States is in the production of anti-inflammatory drugs. Limited information is available on the health effects of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine. No information is available on the acute (short-term), chronic (long-term), reproductive, developmental, or carcinogenic effects of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine in humans. In a National Cancer Institute (NCI) study, liver tumors were observed in both sexes of rats and female mice exposed to 1,2-diphenylhydrazine in their diet. EPA has classified 1,2-diphenylhydrazine as a Group B2, probable human carcinogen.

1,2-Diphenylhydrazine oxidizes rapidly in the environment under aerobic conditions, with a half-life in water as short as 15 minutes. . . . it is possible that 1,2-diphenylhydrazine may cause methemoglobin in humans. However this would occur only if sufficient aniline were formed rapidly enough to exceed the capacity of methemoglobin reductase to reduce methemoglobin. Hepatic effects have been observed in high-dose animal experiments. [ATSDR ToxProfiles] See Phenylhydrazine.

National Toxicology Program. Eleventh Report on Carcinogens (2005). The Report on Carcinogens is an informational scientific and public health document that identifies and discusses substances (including agents, mixtures, or exposure circumstances) that may pose a carcinogenic hazard to human health. Hydrazobenzene (122-66-7) is listed as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.[Available from, as of July 31, 2009: http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/profiles/s097hydr.pdf]

U109; As stipulated in 40 CFR 261.33, when hydrazine, 1,2-diphenyl-, as a commercial chemical product or manufacturing chemical intermediate or an off-specification commercial chemical product or a manufacturing chemical intermediate, becomes a waste, it must be managed according to Federal and/or State hazardous waste regulations. Also defined as a hazardous waste is any residue, contaminated soil, water, or other debris resulting from the cleanup of a spill, into water or on dry land, of this waste. Generators of small quantities of this waste may qualify for partial exclusion from hazardous waste regulations (40 CFR 261.5).

Pursuant to section 8(d) of TSCA, EPA promulgated a model Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule. The section 8(d) model rule requires manufacturers, importers, and processors of listed chemical substances and mixtures to submit to EPA copies and lists of unpublished health and safety studies. Hydrazine, 1,2-diphenyl- is included on this list.

Toxic gases may be formed by mixing DIPHENYLHYDRAZINE with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing materials in this group with alkali metals. Explosive combination can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides.

1,2-DIPHENYLHYDRAZINE is a mild reducing agent. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, acid chlorides and acid anhydrides. Interaction with perchloryl fluoride in the presence of a dilutent below 32 °F has caused separation of explosive solids. Is readily oxidized by nitric acid, silver nitrate or permanganate. Is reduced under alkaline conditions (NTP, 1992).

Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)

Use water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

Fresh air, rest.

Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.

First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Refer for medical attention .

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

Cleavage of hydrazine as a method of preventing environmental contamination was investigated. 1,1-Diethylhydrazine, ...Hydrazine compounds were dissolved in a solution of potassium-hydroxide or of methanol and potassium-hydroxide, followed by addition of an aluminum/nickel alloy. The reaction mixture was injected into a gas chromatography equipped with a flame ionization detector. The quantity of amine present was determined. ...Residual hydrazine could not be detected in any of the reactions after 24 hr of exposure to the reductant. Amines corresponding to the reduced hydrazine were the only products detected by gas chromatography. Yields ranged from 73 to 104%, with a detection limit of 1% of the theoretical yield. No benzidine was found from reduction of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine. /It was/ concluded that the procedures provide a reliable, efficient, one step approach to conversion of potentially carcinogenic hydrazines to innocuous products in laboratory wastes or in the environment.

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: Should a spill occur while you are handling this chemical, FIRST REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION, then you should dampen the solid spill material with 60-70% ethanol and transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with 60-70% ethanol to pick up any remaining material. Seal the absorbent paper, and any of your clothes, which may be contaminated, in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Solvent wash all contaminated surfaces with 60-70% ethanol followed by washing with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned.

Generators of waste (equal to or greater than 100 kg/mo) containing this contaminant, EPA hazardous waste number U109, must conform with USEPA regulations in storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 950(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 2.94(2)and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 1,2-diphenylhydrazine is expected to have low mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine from moist soil surfaces is not expected based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.8X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 4.4X10-4 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 221 mg/L(5). Based on limited aqueous screening study data, 1,2-diphenylhydrazine is expected to biodegrade in soil under aerobic conditions (80% degradation in 7 days)(6). 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine, may also oxidize to azobenzene by air or cations in the soil(7).

AQUATIC FATE: 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine rearranges intramolecularly to benzidine in aq acid. Although the concn of aq acid that is necessary for this reaction is unlikely to be found in ambient surface waters, this rearrangement can proceed easily in presence of anionic micelles such as would be formed from commercial laundry detergents.

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 950(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 2.94(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 1,2-diphenylhydrazine is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 4.8X10-7 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 4.4X10-4 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 221 mg/L(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an average BCF of 29 measured in fish and shellfish(7), suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine undergoes rapid reversible oxidation in solution in the presence of dissolved oxygen and environmentally common cations (e.g. copper(II) and Fe(III)) to azobenzene(8); thus conversion to azobenzene in well-aerated waters should be a major fate process for this compound(SRC). If the conditions of the water body become reducing, the azobenzene will revert to 1,2-diphenylhydrazine(8). Based on limited aqueous screening study data, 1,2-diphenylhydrazine is expected to biodegrade in water under aerobic conditions (80% degradation in 7 days)(9). 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine absorbs light >290 nm(10) and may be subject to direct photolysis in sunlit surface waters, but the rate of this potential reaction is not known.

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1,2-diphenylhydrazine, which has a vapor pressure of 4.4X10-4 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,2-diphenylhydrazine is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 5 hours(SRC), from its rate constant of 8.5X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase 1,2-diphenylhydrazine may be physically removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine absorbs light greater than 290 nm(4), and may be susceptible to direct photolysis; however, the rate of this potential reaction is not known(SRC).

Two of the known metabolites, aniline and benzidine, may contribute to the toxicity and/or carcinogenicity of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine. Nonneoplastic liver lesions, hepatocellular carcinomas and/or neoplastic liver nodules indicate that the liver is a target of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine toxicity. As aniline and other aromatic amino metabolites of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine (e.g., aminophenols) are methemoglobinforming compounds by either oral or inhalation routes of exposure, it is possible that 1,2-diphenylhydrazine may cause methemoglobinemia in humans.

Cough.

Redness.

Irritatinon to the eyes, nose and respiratory system, depending on the route of exposure. Cough, redness of the exposed surface. (L463)

Pursuant to section 8(d) of TSCA, EPA promulgated a model Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule. The section 8(d) model rule requires manufacturers, importers, and processors of listed chemical substances and mixtures to submit to EPA copies and lists of unpublished health and safety studies. Hydrazine, 1,2-diphenyl- is included on this list.

Listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP) generally known or suspected to cause serious health problems. The Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, directs EPA to set standards requiring major sources to sharply reduce routine emissions of toxic pollutants. EPA is required to establish and phase in specific performance based standards for all air emission sources that emit one or more of the listed pollutants. 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine is included on this list.

Persons in charge of vessels or facilities are required to notify the National Response Center (NRC) immediately, when there is a release of this designated hazardous substance, in an amount equal to or greater than its reportable quantity of 10 lb or 4.54 kg. The toll free number of the NRC is (800) 424-8802; In the Washington D.C. metropolitan area (202) 426-2675. The rule for determining when notification is required is stated in 40 CFR 302.4 (section IV. D.3.b).

For the maximum protection of human health from the potential carcinogenic effects of exposure to diphenylhydrazine through ingestion of contaminated water and contaminated aquatic organisms ... the levels which may result in incremented increase of cancer risk over the lifetime are estimated at 1x10(-5), 1x10(-6), and 1x10(-7) the corresponding criteria are: 422 ng/l, 42 ng/l and 4.2 ng/l respectively. If these estimates are made for consumption of aquatic organisms only, excluding consumption of water, the levels are 5.6 ug/l, 0.56 ug/l, and 0.056 ug/l, respectively. /Diphenylhydrazine/

Thin layer chromatographic analysis of the urine of rats given an oral dose of 200 or 400 mg/kg revealed the presence of hydrazobenzene, benzidine, and two other unidentified metabolites. At an ip dose of 100 or 200 mg/kg, hydrazobenzene, aniline, benzidine, p-aminophenol, and o-aminophenol were identified in the urine. After iv or intratracheal administration of hydrazobenzene, only one urinary metabolite, which appeared to be phenolic, was found.

In the stomach, 1,2-diphenylhydrazine can be converted into benzidine, a known human carcinogen.

The enzyme systems in rat liver and lung responsible for the oxidative metabolism of hydrazine derivatives were studied to determine whether these enzymes, cytochrome P450 and monoamine oxidase, were responsible for metabolically activating hydrazines to carcinogenic/toxic metabolites. Cytochrome P450 preferentially oxidized the nitrogen to nitrogen bond of 1,2-disubstituted hydrazines and hydrazides, while monoamine oxidase oxidized the nitrogen to nitrogen bond of all the classes of hydrazine derivatives that were tested. Oxidation of the nitrogen to nitrogen bond led to the formation of stable azo intemediates in the case of 1,2-disubstituted hydrazines and to unstable monoazo (diazene) metabolites in the case of monosubstituted hydrazines and hydrazides. /Substituted hydrazines/

Unchanged 1,2-diphenylhydrazine was detected following treatment by all routes, and aniline and benzidine were identified following oral and intraperitoneal treatments. Other metabolites included two unspecified hydroxy derivatives of benzidine (oral route), 2- and 4- aminophenol (intraperitoneal route), and unidentified compounds (oral, intravenous, and intratracheal routes). Aniline is oxidized by hydroxylation of a ring carbon to form 2-or 4-aminophenol or of the nitrogen to form phenylhydroxylamine, and then is conjugated to glucuronic or sulfuric acid. Benzidine is formed readily from 1,2-diphenylhydrazine by acid rearrangement. It has been suggested that benzidine may be produced from 1,2-diphenylhydrazine by acidity in the stomach. (L463)

1,2-Diphenylhydrazine is no longer produced in the United States. 1,2-Diphenylhydrazine is used in the production of anti-inflammatory drugs.
