  2. Phenacyl bromide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenacyl_bromide

    Phenacyl bromide is the organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 C(O)CH 2 Br. This colourless solid is a powerful lachrymator as well as a useful precursor to other organic compounds. It is prepared by bromination of acetophenone : [ 2 ]

  3. Phenacyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenacyl_group

    In organic chemistry, a phenacyl group is an aromatic substituent that consists of a phenyl group attached to an acyl group. A molecule containing a phenacyl group has the formula RCH 2 (CO)C 6 H 5 and the structure shown to the right. Here, R denotes the remainder of the molecule; for instance, if R is Br, then the compound could be called ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mace_(spray)

    Mace is the brand name of an early type of aerosol self-defense spray invented by Alan Lee Litman in the 1960s. The first commercial product of its type, Litman's design packaged phenacyl chloride (CN) tear gas dissolved in hydrocarbon solvents into a small aerosol spray can, [1] usable in many environments and strong enough to act as a deterrent and incapacitant when sprayed in the face.

    Illustrative is the preparation of isopropyl thiocyanate by treatment of isopropyl bromide with sodium thiocyanate in boiling ethanol. [5] The main complication with this route is the competing formation of alkyisothiocyanates. "SN1-type" substrates (e.g., benzyl halides) tend to give the isothiocyanate derivatives.

  8. Phenacyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenacyl_chloride

    Phenacyl chloride, also commonly known as chloroacetophenone, is a substituted acetophenone. It is a useful building block in organic chemistry . Apart from that, it has been historically used as a riot control agent , where it is designated CN . [ 5 ]

  9. Bromoacetone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromoacetone

    It was used in World War I as a chemical weapon, called BA by British and B-Stoff by Germans. Due to its toxicity, it is not used as a riot control agent anymore. Bromoacetone is a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. It is, for example, the precursor to hydroxyacetone by reaction with aqueous sodium hydroxide. [6]
