cacodylic acid usage and synthesis

chemical properties	white crystals or powder
usage	cacodylic acid is used for dermatologic treatment in cronic eczema, anemia and as a tonic.
usage	antieczema, dermatologic, herbicide
definition	chebi: the organoarsenic compound that is arsenic acid substituted on the central arsenic atom with two methyl groups.
general description	a colorless, odorless crystalline solid. melting point 195-196°c. toxic by ingestion and irritating to skin and eyes.
air & water reactions	hygroscopic. water soluble.
reactivity profile	cacodylic acid is a weak acid. dissolves in water to yield solutions containing more hydrogen ions than pure water contains and so having a ph less than 7.0. is neutralized exothermically by all bases to produce water plus a salt. reacts (but usually slowly) with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt. such reactions occur in principle for the solid acid but are quite slow if the solid acid remains dry. the solid may absorb enough water from the air and dissolve sufficiently in cacodylic acid to corrode or dissolve iron, steel, and aluminum parts and containers. reacts with cyanide salts to generate gaseous hydrogen cyanide. flammable and/or toxic gases and heat may be generated with diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides. also may react with sulfites, nitrites, thiosulfates (to give h2s and so3), dithionites (so2), to generate flammable and/or toxic gases and heat. reaction with carbonates and bicarbonates generates a harmless gas (carbon dioxide) but still some heat. can be oxidized exothermically by strong oxidizing agents and reduced by strong reducing agents; a wide variety of products is possible. may initiate polymerization reactions; may catalyze (increase the rate of) chemical reactions.
health hazard	chemical is essentially non-irritating in contact with skin or eyes. ingestion causes arsenic poisoning, but symptoms are delayed.
fire hazard	behavior in fire: may form toxic oxides of arsenic when heated.
