TBPO is an extremely toxicbicyclic phosphateconvulsant andGABA receptor antagonist. It is the most toxicbicyclic phosphate known, with anLD50 of 36 μg/kg in mice.[2]
Some sources claim that TBPO is as toxic asVX.[3]
The synthesis is equivalent to the synthesis ofIPTBO while the triol is produced by thecondensation between3,3-dimethylbutyraldehyde andformaldehyde analogous to the synthesis oftrimethylolpropane.
