Nitrogen Mustard ethylamine

Nitrogen mustards include HNl [bis(2-chloroethyl) ethylamine], HN2 (2,2 -dichloro-V-methyldiethylamine), and HN3 [tris(2-chloroethyl)amine hydrochloride]. As will be discussed later, some of these found application in therapeutic arenas rather than in warfare. 

Bis (2-chloroethyl) ethylamine, A7-ethyl 2,2 di(chloroethyl)amine, ethylbis(2-chloroethyl) amine, one of the nitrogen mustards. Oily colourless-yellow liquid, mp 34°C bp 85°C, vapour pressure at 25°C 0.722 mmHg, volatility at 25°C, 2290 mg/m3. Similar effects to those of sulphur mustard but more damaging to the eye rapidly penetrates to the interior of the eyeball.

The IT-SIMS was also applied for the characterization of soil samples contaminated with nitrogen mustard compounds [16]. These are much less common than sulfur mustards and are comprised by three compounds tris(2-chloroethyl)amine (HN-3), bis(2-chloroethyl)methyl-amine (HN-2), and bis(2-chloroethyl)ethylamine (HN-1). Of these, only HN-3 received serious consideration...
