CHLOROPICRIN is a powerful irritant affecting all body surfaces, more toxic then chlorine. Trichloronitromethane can be shocked into detonation. When heated to decomposition, Trichloronitromethane emits highly toxic fumes of chlorine gas and nitrogen oxides [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 821]. Trichloronitromethane produces a violent reaction with aniline [Jackson, K. E., Chem. Rev., 1934, 14, p. 269] or strong bases in the presence of alcohols (alkoxides) [Ramsey, B. G., et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1966, 88, p. 3059].
