Pharmacology
Bromodichloromethane is a colorless, liquid halogenated hydrocarbon. Bromodichloromethane is used in the synthesis of chemicals and as a reagent in laboratory research. This substance is also found as a by-product in chlorinated water. Bromodichloromethane is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. (NCI05)
How it is made
Treatment of the chlorine analog with slightly more than the stoichiometric quantity of anhydrous aluminum bromide, or with hydrogen bromide in the presence of an aluminum halide catalyst. After replacement of chlorine by bromine, the mixture is washed with cold water to remove the inorganic materials and the product is distilled.
