Cacodyl oxide is a chemical compound of the formula [(CH3)2As]2O. This organoarsenic compound is primarily of historical significance as it is sometimes considered to be the first organometallic compound synthesized in relatively pure form.[1]
"Cadet's fuming liquid", which is composed of cacodyl and cacodyl oxide, was originally synthesized by heating sodium acetate with arsenic trioxide. It has a disagreeable odor and is toxic. It has been used as a denaturing and warning agent.[citation needed]
