74-97-5 Usage

Uses

Used in Firefighting Industry:
Bromochloromethane is used as an extinguishing agent for its oxygen-depleting properties. It is particularly effective in fire suppression systems due to its ability to displace oxygen and prevent the spread of flames.
Physical properties:
Bromochloromethane is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. It has a density of 1.991 g/cm3, making it denser than water, and is insoluble in water, causing it to sink when mixed with water. Its vapors may cause illness if inhaled.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Bromochloromethane is sensitive to light (may discolor). Incompatible with strong bases and strong oxidizing agents. Also incompatible with active metals, calcium, aluminum, magnesium, zinc and their alloys. Attacks some forms of plastics, rubber and coatings. .

Hazard

By inhalation.

Health Hazard

Toxic by ingestion. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Exposure in an enclosed area may be very harmful. Contact may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Fire Hazard

Some of these materials may burn, but none ignite readily. Most vapors are heavier than air. Air/vapor mixtures may explode when ignited. Container may explode in heat of fire.

Safety Profile

Mildly toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Mutation data reported. This material has a narcotic action of moderate intensity, although of prolonged duration. Animals exposed for several weeks to 1000 pprn had blood bromide levels as high as 350 mgl100 g. Therefore, until further data are available, it should be considered at least as toxic as carbon tetrachloride and more than minimal exposure to its vapors should be avoided. Dangerous; when heated to decomposition it emits highly toxic fumes of Brand Cl-. See also BROMIDES and CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, ALIPHATIC.

Potential Exposure

Bromochloromethane is used in brominated flame retardants; a fire-extinguishing agent; and in organic synthesis

Carcinogenicity

The U.S. EPA classification is D (not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity). Bromochloromethane is structurally similar to dichloromethane (methylene chloride), which is classified B2 (probable human carcinogen). The classification is based on the lack of data regarding the carcinogenicity of bromochloromethane in humans or animals; however, there are data indicative of genotoxic effects and structural relationships to halogenated methanes classified as B2 (probable human carcinogens).

Source

No MCLGs or MCLs have been proposed, however, a DWEL of 0.5 mg/L was recommended (U.S. EPA, 2000). Naturally formed by algal biological processes (Orkin et al., 1997) and is a disinfection byproduct in public water treatment systems.

Environmental fate

Biological. When bromochloromethane (5 and 10 mg/L) was statically incubated in the dark at 25 °C with yeast extract and settled domestic wastewater inoculum for 7 d, 100% biodegradation with rapid adaptation was observed (Tabak et al., 1981). Photolytic. The following rate constants were reported for the reaction of bromochloromethane and OH radicals as measured by both flash photolysis resonance fluorescence and discharge flow electron paramagnetic resonance techniques (x 10-13 cm3/molecule?sec): 0.91 at 4 °C, 1.11–1.13 at 25 °C, 1.32–1.34 at 40 °C, 1.55–1.58 at 57 °C, 1.76–1.90 at 76 °C, 2.10–2.26 at 97 °C (Orkin et al., 1997). Chemical/Physical. Although no products were identified, the estimated hydrolysis half-life in water at 25 °C and pH 7 is 44 yr (Mabey and Mill, 1978). Bromochloromethane reacts with bisulfide ion (HS-), produced by microbial reduction of sulfate, forming 1,3,5-trithiane and dithiomethane. Estimated reaction rate constants at 25 and 35 °C were 7.29 x 10-5 and 2.42 x 10- 4/M?sec, respectively (Roberts et al., 1992).

Mixed tetrahaloborate ions. Detection and study by nuclear magnetic resonance

Hartman,Schrobilgen

, p. 940 - 951 (1972)

BF4-, BCl4-, BBr4-, and BI4- undergo halogen exchange in methylene chloride solution to form the mixed tetrahaloborate ions, for which 19F and 11B nmr data are presented. A previous report of very rapid halogen exchange in the BF4--BCl4- system is incorrect. Only in the BF4--BI4- system is halogen redistribution so rapid that separate nmr signals are not observed for the mixed-halogen anions. Exchange with methylene halide solvents gives rise to ternary-halogen species such as BF2ClBr-. Additional methods of preparation of mixed tetrahaloborate anions are investigated. The nmr parameters of the mixed tetrahaloborate anions show trends which resemble those of the mixed boron trihalides. The trends can be interpreted in terms of the presence of boron-fluorine π bonding. The results of CNDO/2 calculations provide an alternative interpretation of the trends in chemical shifts. The 11B and F19 chemical shifts of the tetrahaloborate anions are found to fit Malinowski's criteria of pairwise additivity. .

Synthesis of Fluorine-Containing Aryl(halo)boranes from Potassium Aryl(fluoro)borates

Bardin,Prikhod’ko,Shmakov,Shabalin, A. Yu.,Adonin, N. Yu.

, p. 50 - 61 (2020/04/09)

Fluorine-containing aryldihalogenoboranes have been obtained by the reaction of boron and aluminum chlorides and bromides with potassium aryltrifluoroborates K[ArBF3] under mild conditions. In a similar way, bis(pentafluorophenyl)halogenoboranes have been synthesized by the reaction with K[(C6F5)2BF2]. The reaction of K[C6F5BF3] with AlBr3 affords a mixture of C6F5BF2 and C6F5BCl2 due to fast conversion of AlBr3 to AlBrCl2. The inductive and resonance parameters of BCl2 and BBr2 groups were calculated.

Facile continuous process for gas phase halogen exchange over supported alkyl phosphonium salts

Sharma, Priti,Sasson, Yoel

, p. 2824 - 2828 (2018/02/06)

Chloride-bromide halogen exchange was realized when a mixture of an alkyl chloride and an alkyl bromide were reacted over a supported molten alkyl phosphonium catalyst. Conversion was found to be near equilibrium in a tubular flow reactor at 150 °C and 1500 GHSV. The catalyst was prepared by impregnation of alumina or silica support and found to be highly stable for relatively long periods of time. A pathway for the catalytic cycle is proposed.

Kinetics of the R + HBr ? RH + Br (R = CH2Br, CHBrCl or CCl3) equilibrium. Thermochemistry of the CH2Br and CHBrCl radicals

Seetula, Jorma A.

, p. 849 - 855 (2007/10/03)

The kinetics of the reaction of the CH2Br, CHBrCl or CCl3 radicals, R, with HBr have been investigated separately in a heatable tubular reactor coupled to a photoionization mass spectrometer. The CH2Br (or CHBrCl or CCl3) radical was produced homogeneously in the reactor by a pulsed 248 nm exciplex laser photolysis of CH2Br2 (or CHBr2Cl or CBrCl3). The decay of R was monitored as a function of HBr concentration under pseudo-first-order conditions to determine the rate constants as a function of temperature. The reactions were studied separately over a wide ranges of temperatures and in these temperature ranges the rate constants determined were fitted to an Arrhenius expression (error limits stated are 1σ + Student's t values, units in cm3 molecule-1 s-1): k(CH2Br + HBr) = (7.5 ± 0.9) × 10-13 exp[- (2.53 ± 0.13) kJ mol-1/RT], k(CHBrCl + HBr) = (4.9 ± 1.1) × 10-13 exp[-(8.2 ± 0.3) kJ mol-1/RT] and k(CCl3 + HBr) -15 at 787 K. The kinetics of the reverse reactions, Br + R′H → HBr + R′ (R′ = CH2Br or CHBrCl), were taken from the literature and also calculated by ab initio methods at the MP2(fc)/6-31G(d,p)//MP2(fc)/6-31G(d,p) level of theory in conjunction with the thermodynamic transition state theory to calculate the entropy and the enthalpy of formation values of the radicals studied. The thermodynamic values were obtained at 298 K using a second-law method. The results for entropy values are as follows (units in J K-1 mol-1): 263 ± 7 (CH2Br) and 294 ± 6 (CHBrCl). The results for enthalpy of formation values at 298 K are (in kJ mol-1): 171.1 ± 2.7 (CH2Br) and 143 ± 6 (CHBrCl). The C-H bond strength of analogous halomethanes are (in kJ mol-1): 427.2 ± 2.4 (CH3Br) and 406.0 ± 2.4 (CH2BrCl). Thermodynamic properties of the CH2Br radical were calculated by statistical thermodynamic methods over the temperature range 100-1500 K.

Kinetics of the Reactions of Halogenated Methyl Radicals with Molecular Bromine

Timonen, R. S.,Seetula, J. A.,Niiranen, J.,Gutman, D.

, p. 4009 - 4014 (2007/10/02)

The kinetics of seven reactions of halogenated methyl radicals (CH2Cl, CHCl2, CFCl2, CF2Cl, CF3, CH2Br, and CH2I) with molecular bromine were studied by using a heatable tubular reactor coupled to a photoionization mass spectrometer.Rate constants were measured as a function of temperature, typically between 296 and 532 K.Arrhenius activation energies were found to be small negative values (typically -2 kJ mol-1) for all reactions studied with the exception of that of the CF3 + Br2 reaction (whose activation energy is positive, but which could not determined accurately).The pattern of reactivity among 11 reactions of substituted methyl radicals with Br2 (which includes the 7 reactions studied here and 4 C(H)x(CH3)3-x + Br2 reactions (x = 0-3) studied earlier) has been accounted for by the inductive effect of the substituent atoms or groups.The sum of the Pauling electronegativities of these substituents provides a useful measure of their total inductive effect on the reaction rate constant.

Kinetics of the Reactions of Partially Halogenated Methyl Radicals (CH2Cl, CH2Br, CH2I, and CHCl2) with Molecular Chlorine

Seetula, J. A.,Gutman, D.,Lightfoot, P. D.,Rayes, M. T.,Senkan, S. M.

, p. 10688 - 10693 (2007/10/02)

The gas-phase kinetics of the reactions of four partially halogenated methyl radicals (CH2Cl, CH2Br, CH2I, and CHCl2) with Cl2 have been studied as a function of temperature using a tubular reactor coupled to a photoionization mass spectrometer.Radicals were homogeneously generated by pulsed 193- and/or 248-nm laser photolysis.Decays of the radical concentrations were monitored in time-resolved experiments as a function of to obtain bimolecular rate constants for the R + Cl2 -> RCl + Cl reactions studied.The following Arrhenius expressions (k = A exp(-E/RT)) were obtained (the numbers in brackets are log(A/(cm3 molecule-1 s-1)), E/(kJ mol-1); the temperature ranges are also indicated): R = CH2Cl ; R = CH2Br ; R = CH2I ; R = CHCl2 .Errors are 1?, including both random and an estimated 20percent systematic error in the individual bimolecular rate constants.The Arrhenius parameters of these and two other R + Cl2 reactions are compared with theoretical determinations based on semiempirical AM1 calculations of transition-state energies, structures, and vibration frequencies.The calculations qualitatively reproduce the observed trends in both the Arrhenius A factors and in the activation energies.The use of molecular properties to account for reactivity differences among all the R + Cl2 reactions which have been studied to date are also explored using free-energy correlations with these properties.

, p. 5181 - 5184 (2007/10/02)

It is demonstrated that photohalogenation of low reactivity substrates with BrCl occurs mainly with Cl. selectivity.With tertiary or benzylic hydrogens in the substrate, mainly Br. selectivity is observed.These observations are rationalized, taking into account the relative concentrations of halogen atoms and their respective rates of hydrogen abstractions.The resultant radicals react with BrCl to make (RBr/RCl) in ratios between 1 and 15.
