Trichloronitrosomethane is a chlorinated nitrosoalkane. It is a deep blue liquid with powerful lachrymatory effects.[1]
Synthesis[]
Trichloronitrosomethane can be produced with following methods:[1][2]
- Oxidation of with nitric acid.
- Reaction of with sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate or potassium nitrate in sulfuric acid.
- Pyrolysis of .
Chemistry[]
Trichloronitrosomethane is an unstable substance. It slowly decomposes into nitrosyl chloride, nitrogen oxides and chloropicrin over time.[1]
Trichloronitrosomethane can be reduced to phosgene oxime by hydrogen sulfide.[1]
