Bromodichloroacetonitrile（Cat No.:R049378）is a halogenated acetonitrile compound commonly identified as a disinfection byproduct (DBP) formed during the chlorination or bromination of water containing natural organic matter. It consists of a nitrile group attached to a carbon substituted with one bromine and two chlorine atoms. This compound is used in environmental chemistry research to study DBP formation, stability, and toxicity. Due to its potential cytotoxic and genotoxic properties, bromodichloroacetonitrile is monitored in drinking water quality assessments, helping evaluate treatment processes and develop strategies to minimize harmful byproducts in municipal and industrial water systems.
