Chemistry:Tetrachlorodinitroethane

From HandWiki

Tetrachlorodinitroethane is a chlorinated nitroalkane produced by nitration of tetrachloroethylene with dinitrogen tetroxide or fuming nitric acid.[1][2][3] It's a powerful lachrymatory agent and pulmonary agent that is six times more toxic than chloropicrin.[3] Tetrachlorodinitroethane may be used as a fumigant.[4]

Tetrachlorodinitroethane was discovered by Hermann Kolbe in 1869 by reacting tetrachloroethylene and dinitrogen tetroxide.[5]
