Methyl bis(trifluoromethylthio)arsine is another example of the extremely nasty CW agents developed at Edgewood. The prep & the earlier lit references for the starting materials are given in US5349076.

The off topic discussion on whether or not is it forum friendly to open multiple threads on topics of such limited audience like chemical weapons related topics, that developed in this thread was split off to a separate thread: http://sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=10890

Please reply in this thread only if on the above topic.

Here is supporting documentation on the preparation of the key disulfide raw material, albeit via organomercury chemistry:
