Bromoacetonitrile Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colourless to yellowish liquid

Uses

Bromoacetonitrile was used in the synthesis of 1-cyanomethyl-1,1-dimethylhydrazinium bromide. It is used as an alkalyting agent for the nitrogen phosphorus detector.

General Description

Pale yellow to light amber liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

May be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

Bromoacetonitrile may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to air and light. Bromoacetonitrile is incompatible with strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents and strong reducing agents.

Fire Hazard

Bromoacetonitrile is probably combustible.
