Chloro picrin

HS US desgn for Mustard Gas and for ch loro acetophenone chloro-picrin in chloroform (CWA s)... 

Oxidation followed by decomposition of the molecule may result in the formation of nitrated aliphatic compounds, as for example tetranitromethane and chloro-picrin in the nitrations of toluene or chlorobenzene respectively. 

Uses Was first used by Germans in shells at Verdun in May, 1916. Was used in combination with chloro-picrin (25 per cent) to disperse the latter.

Phosgene was employed for the first time as a war gas in December, 1915. It was used throughout the war alone or mixed with chlorine by emission from containers, while shells were also used which contained the same mixture or one including metallic chlorides as stannic chloride or other war gases such as chloro-picrin, diphosgene, diphenylchloroarsine, etc. ...

Pulmonary edema may occur up to 24 h after exposure (Stein and Kirwan, 1964 Gonmori et al., 1987). Gonmori et al. (1987) reported a fatality from chloro-picrin spray intoxication. The patient, an 18-year-old female, developed pulmonary edema 3h after exposure. Furthermore, a 43-year-old man developed pulmonary edema complicated by pneumonia, heart failure, and hepatocellular damage after CS intoxication (Krapf and Thalmann, 1981). Delayed-onset bronchopneumonia may occur from prolonged exposure to some RCAs in enclosed spaces (Beswick, 1983). 

In the flash photolysis of chloral and bromal,39 the absorption spectra of CC1 and CBr only were observed and similar results were obtained in the flash photolysis of chloro- and bromo-picrins.
