Synthesis

Etridiazole can be synthesised from acetonitrile as follows:

It can also be is produced by the reaction of trichloroacetamidine hydrochloride with trichloromethanesulfenyl chloride, and then with sodium hydroxide in ethanol.[3]

Reactivity

Etridiazole is stable under normal conditions,[4] but degrades upon continuous exposure to sunlight,[5] and is hydrolysed by alkalis.[6] When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride, sulfur oxides, and nitrogen oxides.[7]

Safety

Etridiazole has been classified as a Group B2 Probably Human Carcinogen.[8]

gollark: It has a built-in interface to tryhaskell.
gollark: The process manager lets you run background processes waaay more easily than in vanilla CC.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: It's called Polychoron, and has waaaaay too many features for what it does.
gollark: Well, this being Lua, all it really needs to do is multiplex a bunch of coroutines.
