Phosphorothioic acid, O,O-dimethylO-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) ester

Description:
Phosphorothioic acid, O,O-dimethyl O-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) ester, commonly known as chlorpyrifos, is an organophosphate 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 is a colorless to yellow liquid with a faint odor, and it is relatively stable under normal conditions but can degrade in the presence of strong acids or bases. Chlorpyrifos is lipophilic, allowing it to penetrate biological membranes, and it has a moderate to high toxicity profile for various non-target organisms, including humans and wildlife. Due to environmental and health concerns, its use has been restricted or banned in several countries. Proper handling and application are essential to minimize risks associated with exposure.
