Trichloronitrosomethane is a chlorinated nitrosoalkane. It is a deep blue liquid with powerful lachrymatory effects.^[1]

Synthesis

Trichloronitrosomethane can be produced with following methods:^[1]^[2]

Trichloronitrosomethane is an unstable substance. It slowly decomposes into nitrosyl chloride, nitrogen oxides, and chloropicrin over time.^[1]

Trichloronitrosomethane can be reduced to phosgene oxime by hydrogen sulfide.^[1]
