| Chemical Properties | Light yellow to light brown solid |
| Uses | 1-Methylpyrene is a fluorescent probe useful for micellar aggregation number. |
| Definition | ChEBI: 1-Methylpyrene is a member of pyrenes. |
| General Description | Plates (in ethanol) or brown-green powder. |
| Air & Water Reactions | Insoluble in water. |
| Reactivity Profile | Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic hydrocarbons, such as 1-METHYL PYRENE, and strong oxidizing agents. They can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds. Substitution at the benzene nucleus occurs by halogenation (acid catalyst), nitration, sulfonation, and the Friedel-Crafts reaction. 1-METHYLPYRENE may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. |
| Health Hazard | ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition 1-METHYLPYRENE emits acrid smoke and fumes. |
| Fire Hazard | Flash point data for 1-METHYLPYRENE are not available. 1-METHYLPYRENE is probably combustible. |
