Bromodichloronitromethane

Description:

Bromodichloronitromethane, with the CAS number 918-01-4, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of haloalkanes. It is characterized by the presence of bromine, chlorine, and nitro functional groups 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 moderately soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Bromodichloronitromethane is primarily used in laboratory settings and industrial applications, often as a reagent or intermediate in organic synthesis. Due to the presence of halogen atoms, it exhibits significant reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks, including potential toxicity and environmental hazards. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are essential when working with this substance.
