Description:
Chloropicrin, also known as trichloronitromethane, is a chemical compound with the CAS number 76-06-2. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic pungent odor, often described as similar to that of pepper or musty hay. Chloropicrin is primarily used as a pesticide and a soil fumigant due to its effectiveness against a wide range of pests and pathogens. It is also utilized in the synthesis of other chemicals and as a tear gas in military applications. The compound is highly toxic and can cause severe respiratory irritation, skin burns, and other health hazards upon exposure. Chloropicrin has a relatively high boiling point and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Due to its hazardous nature, it is regulated in many countries, and safety precautions are essential when handling it. Its chemical structure features three chlorine atoms and one nitro group attached to a carbon atom, contributing to its reactivity and toxicity.
