Logo< versus n for Carbon Dichloride 35 ix SUMMARY Although it was previously shown that the basic hydrolysis of chloroform probably proceeds by a mechanism involving the trichloro- methyl carbanion and carbon dichloride as intermediates, it was not possible to prove conclusively that the reaction does not proceed either by the 5N2,attack of water molecules upon the trichloromethyl anion or by the SN2 attack of hydroxide ions upon chloroform. Since the carbon dihalide mechanism involves the loss of a chloride ion from the trichloromethyl anion by an Snl reaction in the rate determining step, it was believed that demonstration of a mass law effect would offer conclueive proof.. of the., carbon dihalide mechanism. Atcordingly, the rate of basid' , hydrolysis of chloroform'itras determined in the presence of several added salts at several concentrations. Although the effects of sodiuM fluoride, nitrate, and perchlorate upon the rate of this reaCtion'differed by amounts within the experimen- tal error, the reaction was slowed by identical concentrations of chloride, brotide l and iodide ions. In the case of sodium chloride, this waS"due to a mass law effect'produced by the recombination of carbon di- chloride with chloride ions. ConbinatiOn of carbon dichloride with bromide and iodide ions yielded dichlorobromomethane and dichloroiodo- methane, the latter compound having been isolated: In agreement with expectation, the rate constants obtained in the presence of bromide and iodide ions climb with time because the haloforms produced by the reactions of these ions with carbon dichloride are more reactive than chloroform. Good agreement was found between the magnitude of the de- crease in the initial rate of chloroform hydrolysis due to the inter- vention of the various halide ions and the nucleophilic constants of the halide ions according to Swain and Scott. These data rule out all of the alternate mechanisms which have been suggested. The rates of basic hydrolysis of chloroform, dichloroiodomethane, dichlorobromomethane, chlorodibromomethane, and bromochlorofiuoromethane have been determined in aqueous,dioxane. The kinetics in all cases was first order in both haloform and , hydroxide ion. The relative reactivity toward =sodium hydroxide in aqueous dioxane was found to be HCErC1F > HCC12Br > HCC1Br2 HCC12I > HCC13 > HCF3 . Heats and entropies of activation have been calculated frOm' the observed rate constants. MECHANISM OF THE 'IAA.= HYDROLYSIS OF HA:Lokiltis , CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Although Geuther (1) was probably the first to suggest that carbon dichloride is an intermediate in the basic hydrolysis of chloro- form, the first good evidence for the existence of this compound as an intermediate was presented by Hine (2) as the result of a kinetic study of the basic hydrolysis of chloroform in aqueous dioxane.

Abstract Trihalomethanes (THMs) are disinfection byproducts formed through the reaction of chlorine and organic matter. There are four forms of Trihalomethanes: chloroform, bromoform, dibromochloromethane and bromodichloromethane. Studies have shown that chloroform, a principal disinfection byproduct, is carcinogenic in rodents. Although the presence of these hazardous materials are constantly being monitored by Water Treatment Plant and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), they continue to be present at an unpredictable levels and the full effects of these byproducts are not fully understood.

  • Toxicological Profile for Bromodichloromethane
    BROMODICHLOROMETHANE 89 CHAPTER 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE 5.1 OVERVIEW Bromodichloromethane has been identified in at least 238 of the 1,854 hazardous waste sites that have been proposed for inclusion on the EPA National Priorities List (NPL) (ATSDR 2017). However, the number of sites in which bromodichloromethane has been evaluated is not known. The number of sites in each state is shown in Figure 5-1. Of these sites, 233 are located within the United States, 2 are located in the Virgin Islands, and 3 are located in Puerto Rico (not shown). Figure 5-1. Number of NPL Sites with Bromodichloromethane Contamination • The most likely route of exposure for the general public to bromodichloromethane is through ingestion, inhalation, and dermal contact of chlorinated drinking water. • A median bromodichloromethane intake of 2.8–4.2 µg/day from drinking water has been estimated; inhalation and dermal exposure would add to this daily intake. BROMODICHLOROMETHANE 90 5. POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN EXPOSURE • Bromodichloromethane is formed as a byproduct of water disinfection methods using chlorination. This is the primary source of bromodichloromethane in the environment. • Its principal use is as a chemical intermediate for organic synthesis and as a chemical reagent. • Volatilization is an important fate process. Bromodichloromethane evaporates from sources and enters the environment as a gas, which is slowly broken down in air. Residual bromodichloromethane may be broken down slowly by bacteria. • In the atmosphere, bromodichloromethane is thought to undergo slow degradation through oxidative pathways, with a half-life of about 2–3 months. 5.2 PRODUCTION, IMPORT/EXPORT, USE, AND DISPOSAL 5.2.1 Production The principal anthropogenic source of bromodichloromethane is its unintentional formation as a byproduct during the chlorination of water containing organic materials and bromide.

The MCLG is nonenforceable and is set at a level at which no known or anticipated adverse health effects in humans occur and which allows for an adequate margin of safety. Factors considered in setting the MCLG include health effects data and sources of exposure other than drinking water. This document provides the health effects basis to be considered in establishing the MCLGs for brominated trihalomethanes found in chlorinated drinking water. To achieve this objective, data on pharmacokinetics, human exposure, acute and chronic toxicity to animals and humans, epidemiology and mechanisms of toxicity were evaluated.
