Dimethyl Phosphate is used to mimic and model the properties of the phosphate group, a structural fragment of nucleic acids and phospholipids.
ChEBI: Dimethylphosphate is a dialkyl phosphate.
Syrupy pale yellow liquid.
Organophosphates, such as DIMETHYL PHOSPHATE, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
DIMETHYL PHOSPHATE is probably combustible.
