Application
Dichloroacetonitrile can be used as a reactant to prepare:
- Chiral α, α-dichloro-β-aminonitriles via Pd-catalyzed enantioselective Mannich-type reaction with imines.
- α, α-dialkyl-substituted nitriles by an alkylation reaction with trialkylboranes in the presence of phenoxide base as a base.
- Halogenated pyridines via copper-catalyzed reaction with methacrolein.
- α,α-dichloro-β-hydroxy nitriles by condensation reaction with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of an alkoxide base.
- Selenium heterocycle derivatives via Diels–Alder cyclization with selenoaldehydes.
- Dichloroacetonitrile can also be used to develop an efficient method for the extraction and determination of common volatile halogenated disinfection by-products using the static headspace technique coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dichloroacetonitrile is direct-acting mutagen and induces DNA strand breaks in cultured human lymphoblastic cells. It induces apoptosis or necrosis in murine macrophage cell line via reactive oxygen intermediates-mediated oxidative mechanisms of cellular damage.

A simple and efficient method has been developed for the extraction and determination of sixteen common volatile halogenated disinfection by-products (DBPs) using the static headspace (HS) technique coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The DBPs determined included trihalomethanes (THMs), halonitromethanes
