Bromochloromethane（Cat No.:R042625）is a halomethane compound featuring one bromine and one chlorine atom bonded to a central methane carbon. It appears as a colorless, nonflammable liquid with a mild, sweet odor. Historically used as a fire extinguishing agent and intermediate in organic synthesis, it has largely been phased out due to environmental concerns, particularly its ozone-depleting potential. In chemical research, bromochloromethane may serve as a reagent or solvent in specialized reactions. Its dual halogen content provides distinct reactivity, making it useful in halogenation and substitution processes under controlled laboratory conditions.
