Dibromodichloromethane, with the CAS number 594-18-3, is a halogenated organic compound that belongs to the class of chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor, often used as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemicals. The molecular formula of dibromodichloromethane is CBr2Cl2, indicating that it contains two bromine and two chlorine atoms attached to a carbon atom. This compound is known for its density, which is greater than that of water, and it is relatively stable under normal conditions. However, it can undergo hydrolysis and photolysis, leading to the formation of potentially harmful byproducts. Dibromodichloromethane is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and has been identified as a potential environmental pollutant, particularly in water sources, due to its persistence and bioaccumulation potential. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks, including respiratory and skin irritation, and is considered a possible human carcinogen.

Dibromodichloromethane is a monomer that is used as a polymerization initiator. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of wastewater and can be used as an alternative to chlorinated hydrocarbons. Dibromodichloromethane has also been shown to have metabolic effects, such as increasing blood glucose levels in rats and decreasing the number of red blood cells. The most toxic effect of this substance is its ability to cause fluorine poisoning. Dibromodichloromethane may also form tautomers, which are unstable compounds that readily change between two different structural forms.
