Organophosphate
Organophosphates (also known as phosphate esters) are a class of organophosphorus compounds with the general structure O=P(OR). They can be considered as esters of phosphoric acid. Like most functional groups organophosphates occur in a diverse range of forms, with important examples including key biomolecules such as DNA, RNA and ATP, as well as many insecticides, herbicides, and nerve agents.
Diethyl chlorophosphate
Diethyl chlorophosphate is a chemical used as an reagent in organic synthesis for the conversion of alcohols to the corresponding diethylphosphate esters. It is a clear liquid with a fruity odor which can range in colour from colourless to light yellow. It is a corrosive, and as a cholinesterase inhibitor, highly toxic through dermal absorption.
