White crystals at room temperature. Melting point: 38°C, boiling point: 292°C, specific gravity: d 4 20 = 0.8355, refractive index: n D 20 = 1.4470. Insoluble in water, mixes freely with ether. Easily soluble in ethyl alcohol. Since it crystallizes into small pieces from a dilute ethyl alcohol solution, it is used in purification.
