Chemistry Chloropicrin s first reported preparation, by the Scottish scientist John Stenhouse, was in 1848 and involved the reaction of a chlorinating agent (bleaching powder) with picric acid (iym-trinitrophenol). It is this synthesis that led to the name chloropicrin, even though the ring present in picric acid is absent in the product chloropicrin.
