Bromochloromethane, also known as chlorobromomethane or halon 1011, is a halomethane with the chemical formula CH2BrCl. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and pressure. Historically, bromochloromethane found some use as a fire suppressant and a fumigant. However, due to its ozone-depleting potential and toxicity, its production and use have been largely phased out under international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol.
The compound is synthesized through the halogenation of methane. It can be produced by reacting methane with
In terms of its chemical properties, bromochloromethane is a volatile organic compound. It is denser than water
