The Reaction of Geminal Bromonitroalkanes with Nucleophiles. Part 1. The Decomposition of 2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (Bronopol) in Aqueous Base

2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol decomposes in aqueous base to give tris(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane, glycolic acid, formic acid, methanol and 2,2-dinitroethanol.It also releases NO2(1-) and Br- ions but not BrO-. these products are shown to form via four concurrent decompostion pathways, three of which involve 2-bromo-2-nitroethanol as a reactive intermediate.
