  Cyclosarin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is the most obscure member of the G-series family of nerve agents, a group of chemical weapon discovered and synthesized by a German team, led by Dr.
Gerhard Schrader, during or soon after World War II.
As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations according to UN Resolution 687, and its production and stockpiling was outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993.

 Nazi poison gas
A German chemist, Dr. Gerhard Schrader, during his work on pest control for the Nature-oriented (Nazi) agriculture business, developed an organic compound called "methyl-isopropoxyl-fluorophosphine oxide." He sprayed a bit of it on some leaf lice and was astonished when the little critters died instantly.
Dr. Schrader, after accidentally coming in contact with the liquid, suffered a rapid contraction of his pupils, rendering him effectively blind.
Gerhard Schrader was also responsible for its development which was successful in the summer of 1939.

In the 1930's an innovative German scientist named Gerhard Schrader began research on the development and use of chemical pesticides for the company IG Farben.
Gerhard, who had originally been looking for a panacea to the problems of insects and crops had stumbled upon a solution to an even larger possible nuisance, humans.
The Soman, Tabun, and Sarin that Gerhard had synthesized were some of the most toxic substances known to humankind.

In 1936, Dr. Gerhard Schrader, a German Biochemist was working on a pesticide.
Schrader had discovered the effects of organo-phosphates on humans.
These discoveries triggered a lot of German research, and by the Second World War, the Nazis had developed N-gas, a substance that could be absorbed through the skin, and proved fatal in 5 - 15 minutes, depending on the concentration.

 sarin, the fragrance of nazi was discovered accidentally
A German chemist, Dr. Gerhard Schrader had been working on developing a pest control substance for the Nazi's agricultural department.
Soon all of his assistants came down with similar symptoms (probably trying to drag his infected ass out of the lab) and the nazi had to close down his laboratory and it was nearly a month before any of technicians could function normally again.
Gerhard Schrader wasn't finished however in his quest to solidify his place in history.

Gerhard Schrader's group was moved to new laboratory space and set to developing new agents in the same chemical class.
.Gerhard Schrader, still at the phosphorus chemistry after thirty years, and obviously a man with very good lab technique to have survived that long.
Of the agents that have been used in the real world, Sarin's the most volatile, and does a lot of its work by inhalation (it's likely that if Schrader's lab had made that one first that they all would have died.) Meanwhile, VX is more persistant, rather like mustard gas, and works mainly by contact.

 Chemical Warfare, Part Three: How Nerve Agents Work. In the Pipeline:
Schrader and his assistant felt what they did because those organs were the first to be affected by the Tabun vapors, which were absorbed by the moist tissues of the eyes and taken up through their lungs.
Their intercostal muscles were being partially inactivated (shortness of breath,) and the blast of acetylcholine signaling switched on the M1 muscarinic receptors in their pupillary muscles, causing them to contract.
We'll return to Gerhard Schrader in the next article, after he learned to treat his compounds with more respect.

An accidental exposure of Dr. Schrader and a laboratory assistant to Tabun vapors made it quite clear that this compound had potential military applications.[212] Tabun was then mass produced by IG Farben during WWII although it was never used as a weapon.
Schrader was also responsible for the discovery of related, but more toxic, nerve agents including Sarin and Soman.[213] Whilst working on chemical weapons Schrader discovered the chemical compound E 605, the principle ingredient in the pesticide parathion.
The compound was discovered by Gerhard Schrader, and was patented in Germany in 1957, and in the US in 1961.

But field sensors can give false positives, in particular because nerve agents are chemically similar to widely-used organophosphate insecticides such as malathion.
