DOT labelFlammable Liquid
Fire hazardsExcerpt from ERG Guide 127 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible)]:· HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
Health hazardsExcerpt from ERG Guide 127 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible)]:· Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes.
Hazards summaryA skin and strong eye irritant[Alfa Aesar MSDS]
DOT ID and guide2376 127
Reactive groupEthers
Reactivity AlertsHighly Flammable
Reactivity ProfileEthers, such as DIHYDRO-2H-PYRAN, can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
DOT Hazard Classification2,3-DihydropyranUN2376Class 3 Flammable and combustible liquid (49 eCFR § 173.120)PG II: the degree of danger presented by the material is medium
Air and Water ReactionsHighly flammable. Slightly soluble in water.

Fire fightingExcerpt from ERG Guide 127 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible)]:
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.

Applications & Uses

Uses

Widely used hydroxyl-protecting reagent3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyran is used as a hydroxyl-protecting reagent in organic synthesis. It acts as an intermediate in synthetic chemistry. It is used to protect various reactive functional groups. It is involved in the polymerization reaction either alone or with unsaturated compound and finds application in polymer industries. Further, it is employed in the preparation of bicyclic compounds of epoxide-fused, halo compounds and allenic alcohols.
