2-METHYL-2-BUTENE may react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents. May react exothermically with reducing agents to release gaseous hydrogen. In the presence of various catalysts (such as acids) or initiators, may undergo exothermic polymerization reactions.

/GUIDE 128: FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS (NON-POLAR/WATER-IMMISCIBLE)/ Fire or Explosion: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a "P" may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. Substances may be transported hot.

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 68(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that amylene is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of amylene from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 0.110 atm-cu m/mole(3). The potential for volatilization of amylene from dry soil surfaces may exist based upon a vapor pressure of 468 mm Hg(4).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 68(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that amylene is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). Based on exposure of activated sludge to amylene in the Warburg respirometer test at 20 °C, percent theoretical oxygen demand after 24 hrs was 0.9(3). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(4) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 0.110 atm-cu m/mole(5). Volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 2.5 and 80 hrs, respectively(SRC), using an estimation method(4). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 23(4,SRC), from a log Kow(7,SRC), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), amylene, which has a vapor pressure of 468 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase amylene 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 4.4 hrs(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 8.69X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of amylene with ozone is 4.2X10-16 cu cm/molec sec(4); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 39 minutes at an atmospheric concn of 7X10+11 molec/cu cm for ozone(5). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of amylene with the nitrate radical is 9.0X10-12 cu cm/molec sec(4); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 321 seconds at an ambient concn of 2.4X10+8 molec/cu cm at night(5).

Petroleum distillate poisoning may cause nausea, vomiting, cough, pulmonary irritation progressing to pulmonary edema, bloody sputum, and bronchial pneumonia. At high amounts, central nervous system depression may also occur, with symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, slow and shallow respiration, unconsciousness, and convulsions. Petroleum distillates are also irritating to the skin. (A594)
