Methyl bromide

Description:
Methyl bromide, also known as bromomethane, is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature, with a slightly sweet smell. It is a halomethane, consisting of a methyl group (CH3) bonded to a bromine atom. Methyl bromide is highly soluble in organic solvents and has low solubility in water. It is primarily used as a fumigant in agriculture for pest control and as a methylating agent in organic synthesis. The substance is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and is known for its ozone-depleting potential, leading to its regulation under the Montreal Protocol. Methyl bromide is toxic to humans and can cause respiratory issues, neurological effects, and skin irritation upon exposure. Due to its hazardous nature, strict safety measures are required when handling this compound. Its production and use have significantly declined in many countries due to environmental concerns and the availability of safer alternatives.
