Regulatory Information
Status: Active Update: 20-12-2022 https://echa.europa.eu/registration-dossier/-/registered-dossier/13467
Isobutyryl chloride: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard
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.)
Fire Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 155 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Flammable / Water-Sensitive)]:
· HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
Health Hazards
Excerpt from ERG Guide 155 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Flammable / Water-Sensitive)]:
· TOXIC and/or CORROSIVE; inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors, dusts or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death.
Hazards Summary
A severe eye irritant; Causes focal lung fibrosis and acute pulmonary edema in inhalation lethal-concentration studies of rats; [RTECS] Causes burns; Inhalation may cause corrosive injuries to upper respiratory tract and lungs; [Alfa Aesar MSDS]
Reactivity Profile
ISOBUTYRYL CHLORIDE is water reactive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, alcohols, bases (including amines). May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts [J. Haz. Mat., 1981, 4, 291].
DOT Hazard Classification

Safety & protection
Accidental Release Measures
· CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper. If shipping paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover.
· ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area.
First Aid
Excerpt from ERG Guide 155 [Substances - Toxic and/or Corrosive (Flammable / Water-Sensitive)]:
General First Aid:
Exposure Control and Personal Protection
· Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
TIH (Toxic Inhalation Hazard) - Term used to describe gases and volatile liquids that are toxic when inhaled. Some are TIH materials themselves, e.g., chlorine, and some release TIH gases when spilled in water, e.g., chlorosilanes. [ERG 2016].

Uses & manufacturing
Applications
UsesUsually used in the synthesis of fully isobutyramide terminated hyperbranched polyethylenimines,the separation and identification of shikonin and its ester derivatives in the root epidermis of Echium italicum.
UsesIsobutyryl chloride is used in the preparation of fully isobutyramide terminated hyperbranched polyethylenimines. It plays an important role in the separation and identification of shikonin and its ester derivatives in the root epidermis of Echium italicum L. It acts as an acylating agent for the ketimine derivatives of alfa-amino esters, nucleosides and pyrroles. Further, it is used in the preparation of organic peroxides. In addition to this, it is used as an intermediate for dyes, textile auxiliaries and peroxide compounds.
General DescriptionA colorless liquid. Flash point near 50°F. Irritates skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Used to make other chemicals.
