Methylphosphonyl dichloride (DC) or dichloro is an organophosphorus compound. It has commercial application in oligonucleotide synthesis, [1] but is most notable as being a precursor to several chemical weapons agents. It is a white crystalline solid that melts slightly above room temperature. [2]
Methyldichlorophosphine is produced by alkylation of phosphorus trichloride with methyl iodide followed by reduction of the resulting phosphonium salt with iron powder: [2] [3]
Dimethyl methylphosphonate can be prepared from trimethyl phosphite and a halomethane (e.g. iodomethane) via the Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction. [2]Dimethyl methylphosphonate is a schedule 2 chemical as it may be used in the production of chemical weapons.
Methylphosphonic dichloride and triethylamine are dissolved in benzene. 3,3,5-Trimethylcyclohexanol is then slowly added while stirring and cooling. The reaction temperature is maintained at 10-15 °C. The mixture is then heated to 40 °C for 1 hour. A benzene solution of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl methylphosphonochloridate is formed.
Methylphosphonic acid is an organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula CH 3 P(O)(OH) 2.The phosphorus center is tetrahedral and is bonded to a methyl group, two OH groups and an oxygen.
57 °C (135 °F; 330 K) [1] at 2 mmHg Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa). Infobox references
Methylphosphonyl difluoride (DF), also known as EA-1251 [2] or difluoro, [3] is a chemical weapon precursor. Its chemical formula is CH 3 POF 2 . It is a Schedule 1 substance under the Chemical Weapons Convention .
Diphosgene is prepared by radical chlorination of methyl chloroformate under UV light: [1]. Cl-CO-OCH 3 + 3 Cl 2 —(hv)→ Cl-CO-OCCl 3 + 3 HCl. Another method is the radical chlorination of methyl formate: [2]
