Tribromoacetic acid [75-96-7] (Br CCOOH), mol wt 296.74, C2HBr302, mp 135°C bp 245°C (decomposition), is soluble in water, ethyl alcohol, and diethyl ether. This acid is relatively unstable to hydrolytic conditions and can be decomposed to bromoform in boiling water. Tribromoacetic acid can be prepared by the oxidation of bromal [115-17-3] or perbromoethene [79-28-7] with fuming nitric acid and by treating an aqueous solution of malonic acid with bromine.
