| | tribromonitromethane Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | A nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs) found in drinking water. Mutagenic in Salmonella and potent inducers of DNA strand breaks in mammalian cells. | | General Description | Prismatic crystals or oily colorless or clear dark amber liquid. | | Air & Water Reactions | May be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Insoluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | tribromonitromethane decomposes with explosive violence if heated rapidly. Incompatible with oxidizing agents. | | Fire Hazard | Flash point data for tribromonitromethane are not available. tribromonitromethane is probably flammable. | | Safety Profile | Poison by
intraperitoneal route. In vapor form it is
highly toxic by ingestion and inhalation and
on contact with skin, eyes, and mucous
membranes. An explosive. When heated to
decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of
Brand NOx. See also NITRO
COMPOUNDS and BROMIDES. | | Purification Methods | Steam distil it, dry it with anhydrous Na2SO4 and distil it again in a vacuum. HIGHLY TOXIC. [Beilstein 1 H 77, 1 I 21, 1 II 43, 1 III 115, 1 IV 106.] |
