Trichloroacetonitrile Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties colourless to slightly yellow liquid
Uses Insecticide.
General Description Clear pale yellow liquid.
Air & Water Reactions Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile May be sensitive to light and heat. Trichloroacetonitrile may react with water, steam, acid or acid fumes. Trichloroacetonitrile may hydrolyze under acidic or alkaline conditions. . The reaction of benzene and Trichloroacetonitrile evolves toxic chloroform and HCl gasses. (Hagedorn, F., H.-P. Gelbke, and Federal Republic of Germany. 2002. Nitriles. In Ullman Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.).
Hazard Strong irritant to tissue. Questionable carcinogen.
Fire Hazard Trichloroacetonitrile is combustible.
Safety Profile Poison by ingestion and intravenous routes. Moderately toxic by inhalation and skin contact. Human mutation data reported. A skin and severe eye irritant. An experimental teratogen. Other experimental reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition or in reaction with water, steam, acid, or acid fumes it produces toxic fumes of CN-, Cl-, and NOx. Used as an insecticide.
