Dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide is a chemical compound with the formula (CH3)2NP(O)(CN)2. It is an organophosphorus compound that contains both cyanide and phosphorus functional groups.

Structure and Properties[edit | edit source]

Dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide is characterized by the presence of a phosphoryl group (P=O) bonded to a dimethylamino group (N(CH3)2) and two cyano groups (CN). The compound is typically synthesized through the reaction of dimethylamine with phosphoryl chloride followed by the addition of cyanogen chloride.

Synthesis[edit | edit source]

The synthesis of dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide involves a multi-step process:

  1. Reaction of dimethylamine with phosphoryl chloride to form dimethylamidophosphoryl chloride.
  2. Subsequent reaction with cyanogen chloride to introduce the cyano groups, resulting in the formation of dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide.

Applications[edit | edit source]

Dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide is used in various chemical synthesis processes, particularly in the field of organic chemistry and phosphorus chemistry. It serves as a reagent for the introduction of cyano groups into organic molecules and can be used in the synthesis of more complex organophosphorus compounds.

Safety and Handling[edit | edit source]

Due to the presence of cyanide groups, dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide is highly toxic and requires careful handling. Proper safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential to prevent exposure.
