Methylacetophos

Description:
Methylacetophos, with the CAS number 2088-72-4, is an organophosphorus compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme critical for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to paralysis and death. The compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Methylacetophos is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, which influences its application and environmental behavior. It is important to handle this substance with care due to its potential toxicity to non-target organisms, including humans and wildlife. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this chemical. Additionally, its environmental persistence and potential for bioaccumulation necessitate careful consideration in agricultural practices to mitigate adverse ecological impacts.
