Hexamethylphosphorotriamine, commonly abbreviated as HMPA, is an organic compound with the CAS number 680-31-9. It is a colorless, transparent, and odorless liquid with slight ammonia-like properties. HMPA is widely used in organic synthesis as a polar aprotic solvent due to its ability to dissolve a variety of organic and inorganic compounds. It also serves as a catalyst in the polymerization of propylene and as an additive in rocket fuels to lower their freezing points. However, it is classified as a potential carcinogen and should be handled with caution.
