Chlorosoman is a chlorine analog of soman. It is a highly toxic organophosphorus compound and is used as the precursor substance for soman nerve agent. Its physical properties are estimated. Soman is insoluble in water, with a boiling point of 223 °C and a melting point of -27 °C. Chlorosoman is at least 2.5 times less toxic than soman.
The chlorosoman (ClG) series of compounds is used more as a precursor to highly toxic compounds. For example, soman is a precursor to EA-2613 and EA-3209.
