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.[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]

History

DIMP is a chemical by-product resulted from the manufacture of sarin (GB).[4]

Use

No commercial uses of DIMP are known to exist.[5]

Occurrences

DIMP is not known to occur naturally in the environment.[citation needed]

Productions

Synthesis

DIMP can be prepared by a gradual addition of triisopropyl phosphite with methyl iodide, utilizing distillation technique.
