'''Cacodylic acid''' is the ] with the ] (CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>AsO<sub>2</sub>H. Derivatives of cacodylic acid, '''cacodylates''', were frequently used as ]s. For example, "]," one of the chemicals used during the ], is a mixture of cacodylic acid and sodium cacodylate. Sodium cacodylate is frequently used as a ] in the preparation and fixation of biological samples for ]. '''Cacodylic acid''' is an ] with the ] (CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]O<sub>2</sub>H. With the formula R<sub>2</sub>As(O)OH, it is the simplest of the ]. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in water.

Neutralization of cacodylic acid with base gives '''cacodylate''' salts, e.g. '''sodium cacodylate'''. They are potent ]s. Cacodylic acid/sodium cacodylate is a ] in the preparation and fixation of biological samples for ] and in ].

Cacodylic acid is highly toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. Once thought to be a byproduct of inorganic arsenic detoxification, it is now believed to have serious health consequences of its own. It has been shown to be ] in rodents, most often causing cleft palate but also fetal fatality at high doses. It has been shown to be genotoxic in human cells, causing ] and also decreased DNA production and shorter DNA strands. While not itself a strong carcinogen, cacodylic acid does promote tumors in the presence of carcinogens in organs such as the kidneys and liver.
