DIBROMOCHLORONITROMETHANE

Description:

Dibromochloronitromethane, with the CAS number 1184-89-0, is a halogenated organic compound characterized by the presence of bromine, chlorine, and a nitro group attached to a methane backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its relatively high density compared to water. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The presence of multiple halogen atoms and a nitro group contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in the production of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Due to its halogenated nature, it may exhibit toxicity and environmental persistence, necessitating careful handling and disposal. Additionally, dibromochloronitromethane may undergo reactions such as nucleophilic substitution or elimination, depending on the reaction conditions and the presence of other reagents. Safety data sheets should be consulted for specific handling precautions and potential hazards associated with this compound.
