Diisopropyl methylphosphonate (DIMP), also known as diisopropyl methane-phosphonate and phosphonic acid and methyl-bis-(1-methylethyl)ester, is a chemical by-product in the production of sarin gas when two equivalents of isopropyl alcohol react with methylphosphonyl difluoride instead of one.[1]
DIMP is a colorless liquid that has been shown to affect the hematological (blood forming) system in animals.[2] Its chemical formula is C7H17O3P.[3]
It degrades into isopropyl methylphosphonic acid.[4]
History
[edit]DIMP is a chemical by-product resulted from the manufacture of sarin (GB).[5]
Use
[edit]No commercial uses of DIMP are known to exist.[6]
Occurrences
[edit]DIMP is not known to occur naturally in the environment.[citation needed]
Productions
[edit]Synthesis
[edit]DIMP can be prepared by a gradual addition of triisopropyl phosphite with methyl iodide, utilizing distillation technique.
