dimethyl sulphate

Toxic gas used in World War I by the Germans (D-Stoff) and the French (Rationite). A powerful irritant in low concentrations, it is fatal in higher concentrations and after long exposure, and has a peculiar caustic action on the skin. It decomposes readily in the presence of moisture, even damp air, and so was little used.
