CAS 2425-25-4: Acetophos

Description: Acetophos, with the CAS number 2425-25-4, 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 crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to their paralysis and death. Acetophos is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is known for its effectiveness against a variety of pests, making it valuable in crop protection. However, like many organophosphates, it poses potential risks to non-target organisms, including humans, if not handled properly. Safety measures are essential when using this chemical, as it can be toxic through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Regulatory guidelines often dictate its use, emphasizing the importance of following recommended application rates and safety protocols to minimize environmental impact and health risks.
