Title: Sarin gas(GB) what's the reactants?
Post by: CABAL on April 29, 2008, 10:14:34 AM

Hi all!

I have a project coming up in chemistry/biology, about inhibition of acetylcholinesterase.
So, I'm using sarin gas as an example but I would like to include how this is produced...and
I can't find anything on the net, other than C4H10FO2P.

Any help would be great :)

Thanks,

Nicholas

Wikipedia mentions the reactants, in a general sort of way, and you can keep researching backwards, maybe, on Wikipedia.  Since a civilian terror group actually produced and used Sarin, against commuters in a Japanese subway, you're not likely to find people who want to openly discuss the exact manufacturing procedure online.
