CAS 2588-06-9: O,O-diethyl S-[(ethylsulfonyl)methyl] phosphorothioate
Description:O,O-Diethyl S-[(ethylsulfonyl)methyl] phosphorothioate, with the CAS number 2588-06-9, is an organophosphorus compound that belongs to the class of phosphorothioates. This substance is characterized by its phosphorothioate functional group, which includes a phosphorus atom bonded to sulfur and oxygen atoms, contributing to its reactivity and biological activity. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a relatively low volatility. The presence of the ethylsulfonyl group enhances its solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as an insecticide or acaricide in agricultural practices. Its mode of action often involves the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, an essential enzyme in the nervous system of insects, leading to neurotoxic effects. Due to its potential environmental impact and toxicity, handling this compound requires adherence to safety protocols and regulations. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use.
