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.

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.

SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 85(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 2-amino-5-nitrophenol is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of 2-amino-5-nitrophenol from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 7.8X10-13 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(3). 2-Amino-5-nitrophenol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 3.5X10-5 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(4). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2007).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 85(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that 2-amino-5-nitrophenol 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 7.8X10-13 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 0.99(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions(3). Biodegradation data were not available(SRC, 2007).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2-amino-5-nitrophenol, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 3.5X10-5 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-amino-5-nitrophenol 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 41 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 9.4X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase 2-amino-5-nitrophenol may be removed from the air by wet or dry deposition(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of 2-amino-5-nitrophenol can be estimated to be 85(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-amino-5-nitrophenol is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC).

2-Amino-5-Nitrophenol

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for 2-amino-5-nitrophenol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.99(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

The Henry's Law constant for 2-amino-5-nitrophenol is estimated as 7.8X10-13 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) using a fragment constant estimation method(1). This Henry's Law constant indicates that 2-amino-5-nitrophenol is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(2). 2-Amino-5-nitrophenol is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 3.5X10-5 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(3).

Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of 2-amino-5-nitrophenol. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of 2-amino-5-nitrophenol. Overall evaluation: 2-Amino-5-nitrophenol is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

The principal rat liver microsomal metabolite of 4-nitroaniline was isolated by high pressure liquid chromatography and was characterized as 2-amino-5-nitrophenol (2-hydroxy-4-nitroaniline) by comparison of its mass, nuclear magnetic resonance, and ultraviolet spectra and HPLC retention time to the synthetic compound. ... Pretreatment of rats with phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene increased the rate of conversion of 4-nitroaniline to 2-hydroxy-4-nitroaniline by 2-fold and 4-fold, respectively; the reaction required NADPH and was inhibited by heat treatment of microsomes, by argon and carbon monoxide:oxygen atmospheres and by the cytochrome P-450 inhibitor, 2-[(2,4-dichloro-6-phenyl)phenoxy]ethylamine. ...

NITRATION OF O-ACETAMIDOPHENOL OR 2-METHYLBENZOXAZOLE IN SULFURIC ACID FOLLOWED BY HYDROLYSIS OF THE SEPARATED ISOMERS WITH SODIUM HYDROXIDE

2-Amino-5-nitrophenol is produced from 2-aminophenol by reaction with acetic anhydride to form 2-methylbenzoxazole, which is nitrated and hydrolysed to form 2-amino-5-nitrophenol.

2-Amino-5-nitrophenol is prepared from 3-nitro-4-hyroxybenzenesulfonamide using sodium hyposulfite and caustic or zinc and HCl as the reducing agents. It may also be obtained from 2-amino-1-phenol-4-sulfonic acid by treatment with carbon disulfide to give a substituted benzoxazole whose ring is opened to the desired sulfonamide. It may be prepared by the chlorosulfonation of 2-chloronitrobenzene followed by aminolysis and hydrolysis.

Production is by nitration of benzoxazolone and separation from the 2-amino-4-nitro-phenol isomer after treatment with hydrochloric acid.
