Ethyl iodoacetate is a chemical compound that is a derivative of ethyl acetate.[1][2] Under normal conditions, the compound is a clear, light yellow to orange liquid.

Applications

Used by the British during World War I, it was codenamed SK gas, for the initials of South Kensington, where it was developed.[3]

Like many alkyl iodides, ethyl iodoacetate is an alkylating agent, which makes it useful in organic synthesis, yet toxic. Ethyl iodoacetate is also a lachrymatory agent.

gollark: Privacy, because apparently Humanity doesn't care about it.

gollark: Hmm, so nutrient paste with flavouring, then.

gollark: That doesn't really make it "rational" to eat that instead of nutrient paste when we are no longer constrained that way as much.

gollark: Yes, the whole thing of humans previously not having access to much energy from food in the environment they involved in, or whatever.]

gollark: (well, not *everyone*, but lots)
