Tetraethyl pyrophosphate

Description:
Tetraethyl pyrophosphate (TEPP) is an organophosphorus compound characterized by its use as a pesticide and a chemical intermediate. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor and is known for its high toxicity, particularly as a neurotoxin affecting the nervous system. TEPP acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine at synapses, which can result in overstimulation of muscles and potentially fatal respiratory failure. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Due to its hazardous nature, TEPP is subject to strict regulations regarding its handling and use. It is important to note that safety precautions must be taken when working with this substance, including the use of personal protective equipment and proper ventilation. Additionally, TEPP has been studied for its potential applications in chemical warfare, further emphasizing the need for careful management and control.
