Er... the negative prefix in Spanish is "in-", so derivations such as "inmoral", ... are merely following the grammatical pattern. There is no dissimilation here.
As Faldage tried to point out, "immortal-", etc. pre-existed Spanish in Latin, to come back to "inmortal-" seems to re-inventing the square wheel. (^_^)
