CAS 338-45-4: trans-Mevinphos
Description:Trans-Mevinphos is an organophosphate compound primarily used as an insecticide 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. The chemical structure of trans-Mevinphos includes a phosphorus atom bonded to oxygen and sulfur, along with an aromatic ring, which contributes to its biological activity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The compound is known for its moderate to high toxicity to humans and other non-target organisms, necessitating careful handling and application. Environmental persistence can vary, but it is generally subject to degradation through hydrolysis and microbial activity. Due to its potential health risks and environmental impact, the use of trans-Mevinphos is regulated in many countries, and safety precautions are essential during its application. Overall, while effective as a pesticide, its use must be balanced with considerations for safety and environmental protection.
