Amiton Specification

 Amiton ,its cas register number is 78-53-5. It also can be called Tetram ; VG (O,O-Diethyl- S- [2- (diethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate) ; O,O-Diethyl S-(b-Diethylamino)ethyl Phosphorothiolate ; Thiophosphate de S-[2-(diéthylamino)éthyle] et de O,O-diéthyle ;and S-[2-(Diethylamino)ethyl]-O,O-diethylthiophosphat . It is highly toxic orally. Amiton (CAS NO.78-53-5) is a cholinesterase inhibitor, and is now considered too dangerous for use in agriculture but unlike other nerve agents it is classified under Schedule 2 of the Chemical Weapons Convention rather than the more restrictive Schedule 1. It was the trade name for the substance when it was marketed as an insecticide by ICI in the mid-1950s, and was described in a 1955 paper by Ghosh and another chemist, J. F. Newman, as being particularly effective against mites. It was brought to market as an insecticide by the company in 1954 but was subsequently withdrawn as too toxic.
