Phenylhydrazine CAS#100‑63‑0
Product Overview
Product Name: Phenylhydrazine CAS No.:100‑63‑0 Synonyms: 1‑Hydrazinobenzene, Phenyl hydrazide, Phenylhydrazine, 95% Molecular Formula: C₆H₈N₂ Molecular Weight: 108.14 g/mol
As the first‑generation synthetic hydrazine derivative, Phenylhydrazine is a versatile fine‑chemical building block widely used in dyestuff, pharmaceutical, agrochemical and analytical chemistry industries. This product appears as pale‑yellow crystals and will gradually turn into oily liquid during storage. It is combustible and highly toxic through multiple exposure routes. Strict operation, storage and transportation specifications are required throughout the supply chain. Our standard MOQ for bulk commercial shipment is 1 FCL (Full Container Load).
Physical & Chemical Properties
Basic Physical Parameters
It is pale yellow crystals and will become oily liquid under normal storage conditions. Its melting point is 66 °F, flash point is 192 °F, and autoignition temperature is 345 °F. It is soluble in alcohol. The product is sensitive to air and light, and its quality will degrade gradually once exposed to the open atmosphere.
Toxicity & Health Hazard Profile
Phenylhydrazine is toxic by ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption. Inhalation may cause hemolysis, leading to anemia and headache; severe exposure can even result in jaundice. It is strongly irritating to eyes and may cause corneal disorders. The oral LD50 of rats is 188 mg/kg. The maximum allowable concentration in the workplace is 0.44 mg/m³. Operators must avoid skin contact, eye contact and inhalation of its vapor during operation.
Chemical Stability
It remains stable under properly sealed storage conditions. It may react violently when mixed with strong oxidants. It will decompose under high temperature and release toxic nitrogen‑containing fumes.
Product Application
Phenylhydrazine is the first synthetic hydrazine derivative, commonly used as an intermediate for organic dyes, pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
Dyestuff Industry
It is an essential intermediate for disazo dyes, and serves as raw material for synthesizing 1‑phenyl‑3‑methyl‑5‑pyrazolone and other azo dye derivatives. It participates in diazo coupling reactions to prepare a variety of colorant molecules.
Pharmaceutical Industry
It is a key synthetic intermediate for antipyretic, analgesic and anti‑inflammatory drugs, including antipyrine and aminopyrine. It can also be used for the preparation of photosensitive dyes applied in the photographic chemical field.
Agrochemical Sector
It is an important raw material for the production of organophosphorus pesticides. It can be used to construct heterocyclic skeletons to synthesize pyrazoline, triazole and other pesticide intermediates.
Organic Synthesis & Chemical Analysis
It is widely used in laboratory organic synthesis for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds such as pyrazoline, triazole and indole. Besides, it acts as a classic carbonyl identification reagent for qualitative identification of aldehydes, ketones and carbohydrates.
Manufacturing Process Highlights
The mainstream industrial production route uses aniline as the starting raw material. Aniline reacts with sodium nitrite in a hydrochloric acid environment to generate diazonium salt. The diazonium salt is then reduced by sulfur dioxide and sulfurous acid to obtain phenylhydrazine sodium sulfonate. After salting out with hydrochloric acid, phenylhydrazine hydrochloride is formed. Phenylhydrazine is finally obtained through neutralization and deacidification. Temperature and pH are strictly controlled in the diazotization and reduction steps to suppress side reactions and reduce impurities.
Packaging & Transportation
Packaging Solutions
Amber sealed glass containers are available for laboratory trial samples to block air and light. Specially certified UN metal drums are adopted for large‑scale bulk orders. The standard bulk MOQ is one full container load. All packages are tightly sealed, and inert gas filling is optional for long‑distance ocean transportation.
Transport Regulation
UN Number: UN 2572, Hazard Class 6.1 (toxic substance), Packing Group II. All shipments shall comply with IMDG, ADR and IATA dangerous goods transport rules. It cannot be loaded together with strong oxidants, strong acids or food‑related goods. We can provide complete SDS, COA and hazard declaration documents to support customs clearance.
Storage Requirements
Store in a cool, shaded and well‑ventilated warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed to isolate air and light sources. The recommended storage temperature is 0‑10°C with inert gas protection. Store separately from oxidants, heat sources and open flames. Do not discharge residual liquid directly into the sewer. The shelf life is 12 months under original sealed packaging.
Delivery Time
For in‑stock products, we can arrange shipment within 2‑3 working days after order confirmation. For customized newly produced batches, the whole production and purification cycle takes 7‑10 working days.

FAQ
Q1: What purity grades are available for Phenylhydrazine?
A: The regular commercial grade is ≥95%‑96%. Higher purity grade ≥98.0% GC can be produced according to special customer requirements.
Q2: Is LCL small‑batch trial shipment acceptable?
A: Our standard minimum order quantity is one full container load. Small sample packages for laboratory testing can be arranged before formal bulk orders.
Q3: What core safety precautions should operators follow?
A: This product is toxic, air‑sensitive and light‑sensitive. All operations must be carried out in a fume hood. Operators need to wear chemical goggles, chemical resistant gloves and organic vapor respirators. Avoid skin contact, eye splash and vapor inhalation completely.
Q4: What documents can you provide for dangerous goods export customs clearance?
A: We can supply a full set of shipping documents including COA, SDS, UN dangerous goods declaration and other supporting export files as required by local customs.
