yellow to pink to tan crystals or crystalline
Dimethylphosphinic chloride was used in preparation of dimethyl-ethynylphosphine oxide.
Dimethylphosphinic chloride is used in the protection of amino acids in peptide synthesis. It initiates the luminescence of ABI-NH2. It is utilized in the reactivity of organophosphate-based nerve gases such as sarin gas.
Kinetics of pyridinolyses of dimethylphosphinic chloride in acetonitrile was studied. Kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of dimethyl phosphinic chloride with anilines in acetonitrile was studied.
