A kinetic study of the chlorination of nitromethane to trichloronitromethane (chloropicrin) was made.The rate of production of chloropicrine in the pH 6-8 range is first order in both nitromethane and hypochlorite anion.The kinetic dependence on halogenating reagent is a new observation and involves hypochlorite anion acting as a general base.Around pH 12 and above, the mechanism changes to a rate-controlling step of reaction between nitromethane anion or a chlorinated nitromethane anion and hypochlorous acid.
