Chlorosoman is achlorineanalog ofsoman. It is a highly toxicorganophosphorus compound and used as the precursor substance forsomannerve agent.[2] Its physical properties are estimated. Soman is insoluble in water, with a boiling point of 223 degrees Celsius and a melting point of -27 degrees Celsius. Chlorosoman is at least 2.5x less toxic than its analogue.[3]
The ClG series of compounds is used more as a precursor to highly toxic compounds. For example, soman is a precursor toEA-2613 and EA-3209.
ClGD follows the same synthetic route as soman, with fluoridation being omitted. Chlorosoman is prepared by theFinkelstein reaction between a solution of sodium chloride inDMF and soman.[4] A fluoride substitution is hypothetically made by the metathetic reaction between soman, anhydrousaluminum chloride, and sodium chloride in a suitable solvent, precipitatingsodium hexafluoroaluminate.
