CAS 60523-73-1

bromo(dichloro)acetonitrile

Description:

Bromo(dichloro)acetonitrile, with the CAS number 60523-73-1, is a halogenated organic compound characterized by the presence of bromine and chlorine substituents on an acetonitrile backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity due to the presence of both halogen atoms, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. It has a relatively low boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical syntheses. Bromo(dichloro)acetonitrile is often employed in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well as in research applications. However, it is important to handle this compound with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, as halogenated compounds can pose risks to human health and ecosystems. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this substance.
