Reactions of N-Ethyl- (HN-1), N-Methyl-Bis(2-Chloroethyl)amine (HN-2), and Tris(2-Chloroethyl)amine (HN-3) with Peroxides

Abstract

The chemical decontamination of nitrogen mustards, HN-1, -2, and -3, generally involves oxidation and hydrolysis; bleach is the most commonly used reagent. Reactions of nitrogen mustards with peracetic acid and 30% hydrogen peroxide were studied, and the products were analyzed by proton and C-13 NMR spectra.
